Trent Williams and San Francisco 49ers hold Myles Garrett in 27-7 victory
Summary

Myles Garrett finished without a sack or recorded tackle in his Los Angeles Rams debut during a 27-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Friday in Melbourne, Australia. Assigned primarily to block the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Trent Williams prevented Garrett from recording any hits on quarterback Brock Purdy. The 49ers utilized a quick passing game and a consistent rushing attack to neutralize the Los Angeles pass rush. Garrett played through three quarters before fatigue led to him sitting out snaps late in the game. Los Angeles plans to feature Aaron Donald in the defensive rotation alongside Garrett for the upcoming contest against the New York Giants on September 21.
