Stafford’s performance made him the ninth player in NFL history to reach 400 career touchdown passes during the regular season, according to official league records. The 16-year veteran now leads the NFL with 25 touchdown passes this season and hasn’t thrown an interception since Week 3.

Rams head coach Sean McVay praised his quarterback after the game. “He’s just been in total command. It’s a continuation of a guy that really works his tail off throughout the course of the week. He uses the accumulation of knowledge and experience, and he’s just playing really confident. It looks like the game is really in slow motion to him right now.”

Stafford celebrated one touchdown with a shimmy after taking a hard hit. “I was having a good time,” he said. “I got hit on that one pretty good. I had to shake that one off a little bit. I’m having fun out there. I lose my mind when we score touchdowns.”

Kittle caught every pass thrown his way. He provided Jones with a reliable target throughout. His 13-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter came during a late 49ers rally attempt.

Adams scored a two-yard touchdown in the third quarter, his 112th career receiving score. He moved past Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez into sole possession of eighth place on the NFL’s all-time list. The former Packers star left briefly with an oblique injury but returned and expects to play next week.

“I see a lot of ownership, honestly,” Adams said after the game. “I wouldn’t say that we had maximization in the pudding earlier on in the season. But now I think everything’s starting to gel. Guys are starting to understand their roles. I’m not pressing out there to make plays and just playing my game.”

Stafford spread the ball to eight receivers. Four tight ends combined for seven catches and three touchdowns.

The Rams’ use of 13 personnel (three tight ends on the field) created matchup problems San Francisco couldn’t solve. When the 49ers used smaller defensive backs in coverage, Stafford attacked the middle for big gains. San Francisco’s linebackers couldn’t match the tight ends’ speed on routes when they countered. Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee and Terrance Ferguson exploited this confusion all afternoon. They found open space in the middle of the field where the 49ers’ depleted defense couldn’t get help over the top.

Landman forced a crucial fumble when he punched the ball loose from Jauan Jennings at the Rams’ 28-yard line in the first half. Kamren Kinchens recovered and set up Los Angeles’ third touchdown.

Forbes grabbed his second interception in consecutive weeks. He tipped a Mac Jones pass intended for Christian McCaffrey back to himself in the fourth quarter at the San Francisco 38.

“My old coach used to tell me interceptions come in bunches, so you might as well catch them when they come your way,” Forbes said after the game.

San Francisco’s defense played without injured stars Nick Bosa and Fred Warner. They struggled to generate consistent pressure. Kalia Davis and Keion White combined for the lone sack and dropped Stafford for five yards in the second quarter. Bryce Huff recorded three quarterback hits, the most by any defender, but Los Angeles’ quick passing attack kept Stafford clean for most of the afternoon.

Special Teams Impact

Jared Verse blocked Eddy Piñeiro’s extra point attempt after Luke Farrell’s fourth-quarter touchdown. The block kept the score at 28-20 instead of 28-21. The play maintained a two-possession lead for Los Angeles during a critical moment when San Francisco was building momentum.

Blake Corum averaged 27.5 yards on four kick returns with a long of 28. Skyy Moore returned a punt 27 yards in the second quarter. The return gave San Francisco field position at the Los Angeles 36. It led directly to their first touchdown when Jones found Jauan Jennings from six yards out.

Los Angeles scored on five of six trips inside the 20-yard line. Stafford threw four touchdown passes and Williams added two rushing touchdowns. San Francisco’s seven penalties for 45 yards included a costly false start on Jauan Jennings that killed a promising second-quarter drive.

The Rams converted 56% of third downs (5 of 9) and kept drives alive. The 49ers managed just 38% (3 of 8). Stafford completed seven passes for 92 yards and one touchdown on third-down attempts. He made several key conversions during the fourth quarter when Los Angeles sealed the victory.

Stafford’s Three-Game Surge Continues

The Rams quarterback had thrown 13 touchdown passes with zero interceptions over his previous three games. That performance put him among the league’s best quarterbacks in November. Through Week 10, Stafford led the NFL with 25 touchdown passes and hadn’t thrown a pick since Week 3, according to detailed game statistics.

Los Angeles had converted 12 of 13 red zone opportunities into touchdowns over the previous three games. McVay’s three tight end sets give Stafford favorable matchups against linebackers and safeties. The scheme forces defenses to choose between stopping the run or defending the pass. Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee and Terrance Ferguson combined for seven catches and three touchdowns against San Francisco. They showcased the offensive scheme’s depth and versatility.

Jones Keeps 49ers Competitive Despite Losses

Jones had thrown for 300-plus yards multiple times as Brock Purdy’s replacement. The former Patriots first-rounder had won five of eight starts for San Francisco through Week 10. He completed 84.6% of passes against the Rams and connected with nine different receivers, per the 49ers’ official recap.

The bigger concern for San Francisco isn’t Jones’ performance but the defense’s struggles without Nick Bosa and Fred Warner. Both players suffered season-ending injuries earlier this year. They created holes opposing teams exploit with increasing frequency. The 49ers also lost first-round rookie Mykel Williams to a season-ending knee injury last week. This further depleted their defensive front.

San Francisco opted against making additions at the trade deadline despite the injuries. Head coach Kyle Shanahan defended the decision after the game. “We knew it would be a big challenge going in. We know how good they are. We thought we could slow them down and find a way to get them off on third down. We obviously didn’t do that very well.”

Turnovers Decide Division Games

San Francisco’s two turnovers proved costly against a Rams offense that committed zero giveaways. The 49ers had lost the turnover battle in three of their four losses through Week 10. Los Angeles was plus-seven in turnover margin during their winning streak.

Landman forced a fumble in the first half and stopped a 49ers scoring threat that had reached the Rams’ 28-yard line. Forbes’ fourth-quarter interception gave Los Angeles possession at the San Francisco 38. It led to Colby Parkinson’s 16-yard touchdown catch that made the score 42-20 and essentially ended any comeback hopes.

Stafford hadn’t thrown an interception in six straight games. This gave the Rams a massive advantage in the turnover battle during their current streak. Los Angeles had forced eight turnovers and committed just one (a fumble) over the previous four games. That margin reflected both aggressive defense and careful ball security on offense.

Playoff Race Implications

Los Angeles improved to 7-2 and moved into a first-place tie with Seattle in the NFC West. The Rams held the head-to-head tiebreaker over San Francisco after both teams split their season series. Los Angeles won this game convincingly after losing in overtime during their first matchup on October 2 at SoFi Stadium.

San Francisco fell to 6-4 and dropped to third in the division behind both the Rams and Seahawks. The 49ers’ playoff chances fell from 73% to 67.3%. They slipped from the NFC’s sixth seed to eighth after Chicago and Detroit both won in Week 10. San Francisco faced a crucial stretch ahead with games against Arizona, Carolina, Cleveland, Tennessee, Indianapolis and Seattle.

“I think our team has a bunch of mental toughness, resilience and the ability to respond,” McVay said. “They stay connected through the good and through the challenging moments. I love this group. I’m excited about being able to build with them as we continue on this second half of the season.”

Analysis and Takeaways

Stafford threw four touchdowns and Los Angeles converted five of six red zone chances to throttle San Francisco in the Week 10 division battle. Jones threw for 319 yards and kept the 49ers competitive, but two costly turnovers and defensive struggles against the Rams’ three tight end sets made the difference in the 42-26 final score.

These match player stats demonstrate how Los Angeles had found its offensive rhythm at the perfect time. The Rams won four straight games heading into their Week 11 matchup with Seattle. Stafford was playing the best football of his career during that stretch.
