Rams struggle offensively in loss to 49ers, lack game-breaking speed

The Los Angeles Rams dropped their season opener 27-7 to the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne on September 11, 2026. Despite a roster featuring stars like Davante Adams and Myles Garrett, the Rams were unable to create explosive plays. Quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 15 of 25 passes for 155 yards while the Rams struggled on third downs, converting just two of nine attempts. The Rams’ defense also faced challenges, allowing 174 rushing yards and failing to secure a sack. Head coach Sean McVay has 17 regular-season games to address these issues moving forward.
