The 49ers (2-2) used touchdowns from Deebo Samuel, Talanoa Hufanga and Jeff Wilson Jr. — plus seven sacks from their defense — to race past the visiting Los Angeles Rams (24-9)
SANTA CLARA — Deebo Samuel’s first-half touchdown revived the 49ers’ season. Talanoa Hufanga’s second-half touchdown saved the 49ers’ Monday night win.
So, Hufanga made sure that this lead was safe. His 52-yard interception return for a win-clinching score had the 49ers celebrating what would be their seventh straight regular-season win over the Rams, who, in their defense, did win last season’s NFC Championship Game matchup in their house en route to a Super Bowl triumph.
The teams then traded field goals after goal-line stands, with the 49ers settling for Robbie Gould’s 25-yard kick after George Kittle nearly made a third-and-goal touchdown but stepped on the end line. Gould missed a 42-yard field-goal attempt with 8:38 remaining, ruining the 49ers’ shot at extending their lead after a 29-yard, third-and-13 catch by Samuel to the 29-yard line.
Touting the NFL’s top defense in terms of fewest yards allowed, the 49ers racked up seven sacks against Stafford, with ex-Ram Samson Ebukam’s second sack resulting in a fumble that Kery Hyder Jr. recovered in the waning minutes. Nick Bosa also had two sacks, while Deommodore Lenoir, Charles Omenihu and Hassan Ridgeway had one apiece.
The Rams’ first drive chewed up the game’s first 8 minutes and penetrated the 49ers’ red zone. A second-down sack by former Rams’ linebacker Ebukam dropped Stafford for a 10-yard loss. Stafford was 7-of-7 for 52 yards on the opening stanza, with Cooper Kupp catching three targets for 27 yards.
