The San Francisco 49ers showcased their defensive strength and a dynamic running back duo in a 20-point victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1. Notable performances came from Nick Bosa, who excelled in run defense with four stops, and both Christian McCaffrey and rookie Kaelon Black, who split carries effectively. McCaffrey led with 68 rushing yards, while Black contributed 65 yards on 14 carries. The 49ers’ cornerbacks also played a significant role, limiting quarterback Matthew Stafford’s effectiveness against top receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.
