Rams Edge 49ers in Defensive Battle, Dim San Francisco's Playoff Hopes

The Los Angeles Rams secured a 12-6 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in a rain-soaked Thursday Night Football game, marking their third consecutive win and improving their record to 8-6. Despite gaining 302 yards, the Rams struggled in the red zone, relying on rookie kicker Joshua Karty's four field goals. The 49ers, now 6-8, missed key opportunities, including dropped interceptions and a crucial pass by Deebo Samuel. Rams' Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua contributed significantly, while 49ers' Brock Purdy struggled, completing only 14 of 31 passes for 142 yards.
