No one expected two of the best offenses in the league recently to put up no touchdowns in this game, but the Rams were able to outlast the 49ers doing so in this pivotal division game.
Not a single touchdown was scored, but the Los Angeles Rams picked up a crucial NFC West victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night, 12-6. The Rams moved to 8-6, while the 49ers fell to 6-8. Both quarterbacks, Matthew Stafford for the Rams and Brock Purdy of the 49ers, had fantastic Week 14 performances, leading many to believe that this game would be an offensive onslaught.

However, veteran Darious Williams was the recipient of the pass for an interception. With head coach Kyle Shanahan not believing his eyes about how his offense was playing, Stafford and head coach Sean McVay were looking to be methodical to churn the clock and hoped they could close out the game. That is exactly what happened, as Stafford dissected a great 49ers defense, picking up key first downs in the pass game, while Kyren Williams chewed up yardage as well.
