The Rams had a chance to cut the 49ers’ 14-point lead before halftime. They didn’t. Los Angeles reached the San Francisco 17-yard line with 18 seconds left in the second quarter. Facing a fourth-and-eight, the Rams tried a fake field goal. Holder Johnny Hekker threw a pass to Kendall Blanton, gaining only 2 yards before […]

The Rams drew within 14-7, but they so far haven’t figured out how to stop the 49ers. San Francisco has two drives and two touchdowns on offense. They went 93 and 91 yards. The 49ers two drives have taken 29 total plays and eaten up 18 minutes, 55 seconds off the clock. The 49ers also […]

Beckham appeared to stop running while the ball was in the […]

On Monday, Payton tiptoed toward providing some insight. “Look, the foul’s called ‘roughing,” Payton said on WWL-AM, via Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. “I can’t talk about any one foul that’s called.
