The Rams came out strong, even jumping out to a touchdown lead with 1:45 to go in the first half but the Niners responded.
INGLEWOOD — If last weekend’s season-opening win was the young Rams telling the NFL not to take them lightly, then they were reminded by the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday’s 30-23 loss how far they still have to go.
Meanwhile, second-year back Kyren Williams — starting in place of the scratched Cam Akers — again found the end zone twice, as he did last week. He skipped in for a screen-pass touchdown to tie the game at 10, sprung by blocks by center Coleman Shelton and second-round pick Steve Avila, then gave the Rams the lead with 1:45 left in the first half behind a Tyler Higbee pulling block.
Then with the Rams driving and looking to retake the lead in the third quarter, Williams could not corral a pass, tipping it up for Isaiah Oliver to intercept. Only an overthrow by Purdy on third down got the Niners off the field, with Jake Moody hitting a 57-yard field goal to give San Francisco the lead again.
