The San Francisco 49ers faced doubt over the legitimacy of their 4-0 record heading into this divisional opener on the road in Week 6. While the doubt may not yet be fully extinguished, the 20-7 win over the Los Angeles Rams on the road has gone quite a long way to silencing these doubts.
After what was a very rocky start, the 49ers settled and quickly tied the game at 7-7. From there it was all San Francisco.
The offense was better than the mere 20 points scored may suggest, the defense looked impenetrable and the Rams offense shot themselves in the foot often with questionable decision-making and penalties.
