Rams Defeat 49ers 12-6 in NFC West Showdown

The Los Angeles Rams secured a narrow victory over the San Francisco 49ers, winning 12-6 in a low-scoring NFC West matchup where neither team scored a touchdown. Rams kicker Joshua Karty was pivotal, successfully converting four field goals, including two critical kicks in the fourth quarter. The game featured a defensive struggle, with both offenses hindered by rainy conditions, resulting in 11 punts in the first half alone. Quarterback Brock Purdy struggled for the 49ers, completing only 45% of his passes and throwing an interception in a crucial moment. With this victory, the Rams improved to 8-6 and kept their playoff hopes alive, while the 49ers fell to 6-8, complicating their postseason aspirations. This win also marked the Rams' first series sweep against the 49ers since 2018.
