49ers rely on RB committee as they defeat Rams in Week 1

The San Francisco 49ers secured a 27-7 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne on September 11, 2026. In a strong performance, San Francisco effectively neutralized the Rams' defense, rushing 30 times for 174 yards., rookie Kaelon Black had 14 carries, surpassing star running back Christian McCaffrey's 10 carries. This shift in carry distribution raises questions about the team's approach moving forward, especially in maintaining McCaffrey's health throughout the season.
