The Los Angeles Rams won in Week 14 scoring 44 points. Four days later, they picked up another victory without a touchdown.
Sean McVay will find many ways to beat you. Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers learned that Thursday when the Rams came into Levi’s Stadium and left with a 12-6 victory.
There were 12 touchdowns last week when the Rams beat the Buffalo Bills. In Week 15, they made 12 points stand up for the win.
The Rams got three field goals from Joshua Karty in the fourth quarter and a huge interception by Darious Williams to send the 49ers to their eighth defeat.

The NFC favorite team to reach the Super Bowl has to win out to finish over .500.
Los Angeles started the season 1-4 and is now 8-6 and in the thick of the NFC West race.
The loss came close to extinguishing San Francisco’s playoff hopes. The 49ers have been riddled with injuries. They got linebacker Dre Greenlaw back but he had to go out in the second half.
They ran 53 plays and only gained 191 total yards.
Their last two plays after Karty’s field goal in the final minute wound up with a Brock Purdy incompletion and a sack.
