Brock Purdy’s backup turned in a memorable performance to lead a short-handed 49ers’ offense past a division rival. 

The former Patriots and Jaguars quarterback has won more games this year (three) than he did in each of the last two seasons.

The 49ers’ defense stopped the Rams on 4th down and 1 in overtime to improve to 4-1 and 3-0 against teams in their own division.

The Niners are short-handed on a short week. Does that guarantee they’ll come up short? 

Robert Saleh’s defense will take on a new look without star pass rusher Nick Bosa, who is out for the season after tearing his ACL.
