SANTA CLARA, CA – The Rams scored a RB Todd Gurley II rushing touchdown 12 seconds into the game after a CB Nickell Robey-Coleman interception return put them close to the goal line. While the 49ers would finish the next drive with a QB Brian Hoyer rushing touchdown, the Rams would score another Gurley touchdown, this time on a pass from QB Jared Goff. The 49ers would add two field goals, but the Rams would close the half with a third Gurley score to go up 11 points.

The 49ers would make a valiant attempt at completing a comeback in the second half, scoring three fourth quarter touchdowns. However they fell slightly short when a 2-point coversion pass attempt to WR Trent Taylor was not completed. The Rams would go on to win 41-39. With that, we give you our PFF exclusive takeaways from the contest for each team.

TOP 5 GRADES:
CB Nickell Robey-Coleman, 86.5 overall grade

LB Alec Ogletree, 85.1 overall grade

WR Robert Woods, 84.8 overall grade

DI Michael Brockers, 84.3 overall grade

WR Sammy Watkins, 83.8 overall grade

PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:
QB JARED GOFF, 80.0 OVERALL GRADE
Goff had a solid game, and he orchestrated the offense well. He was 22 of 28 for 292 yards and 3 touchdowns, including going 4 of 8 under pressure for 89 yards. Goff was 5 of 6 using play action for 119 yards passing and he was also successful going deep, as he was 3 of 4 on passes thrown 20 yards or more yards downfield for 99 yards

WR SAMMY WATKINS, 83.8 OVERALL GRADE
Watkins caught all 6 catchable passes thrown his way for 106 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Watkins hauled in a deep catch of 47 yards and averaged an impressive 4.61 yards per route run. This is likely the type of performance the Rams were hoping for when they traded for him this preseason.

CB NICKELL ROBEY-COLEMAN, 86.5 OVERALL GRADE
A name that nobody was expecting on this list at the end of the night would be Robey-Coleman. On the very first play from scrimmage, Robey-Coleman jumped all over a poorly thrown out route by Brian Hoyer and nearly returned it to the house. On the 49ers’ third drive of the game Robey-Coleman hopped on a fumble by backup HB Raheem Mostert. Robey-Coleman did give up one 56-yard deep ball to Marquise Goodwin, but finished the game with only two receptions allowed on four targets on 45 snaps in coverage, good for an 85.9 coverage grade.

DI MICHAEL BROCKERS, 84.3 OVERALL GRADE
Brockers, who doesn’t get nearly as much notoriety as his interior defensive counterpart Aaron Donald, had a superb night on the inside for the Rams. Brockers was extremely disruptive in run defense with five tackles, four being stops. His 87.4 run defense grade was easily the highest run defense grade of a offensive filled night.
