    from Refocused, NFL Week 7: Los Angeles Rams 39, San Francisco 49ers 10

    https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-refocused-nfl-week-7-los-angeles-rams-31-san-francisco-49ers-10

    The Rams offensive gameplan was fairly simple in this divisional game against the 49ers; establish the run with Todd Gurley and then use the play action passing game over the top. The Rams found their inside zone running scheme working and just continued to go back to it over and over. Ultimately, the 49ers were unable to stop it.

    Jared Goff took advantage of a beat up 49ers secondary early and often on Sunday and the Rams were able to utilize their downfield threats in Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods to hit the 49ers over the top. Those big passing plays along with a dominant running game allowed the Rams to put a bunch of points on the board and put it out of reach of the 49ers’ sputtering offense.

    Aaron Donald turned in another monster defensive performance. Donald stripped running back Matt Breida on his way down to the ground and recovered the fumble all in one motion to end a 49ers’ first-quarter drive. Donald also notched four sacks, one on a bull-rush of center Weston Richburg and another two going outside right tackle Mike McGlinchey.

    Keys to the Game

    Los Angeles: The Rams offense was slowed at the start of the game, but it was only a matter of time until they were able to break through and put up points.

    San Francisco: The 49ers turned the ball over too many times to remain competitive in the game.

    PFF DEFENSIVE TEAM OF THE WEEK

    https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-week-7-nfl-team-of-the-week

    Aaron Donald, Los Angeles Rams – 95.4
    Nobody dominates on the interior like Donald, but his performance on Sunday was something special, even for him. From 30 pass-rushing snaps, he racked up four sacks, a hit and a hurry, while dominating against the run. He finished the game with seven defensive stops and had one of the most incredible plays of the weekend, ripping the ball loose and recovering the fumble all in one motion.

    John Johnson III, Los Angeles Rams – 92.4
    Johnson had an incredible interception against the 49ers, outmuscling tight end George Kittle for the ball after tipping it. That was one of just three passes where he was the primary defender in coverage, and he allowed just one reception for nine yards on the other two.

    Cory Littleton, Los Angeles Rams – 93.5 (Special Teams)
    Littleton played just four snaps on special teams, but found a way to still make a huge impact, blocking a punt for the Rams against the 49ers. Making a big impact on special teams is becoming something of a habit for Littleton.

    also:

    LEFT GUARD
    Rodger Saffold, Los Angeles Rams – 84.3

    Saffold wasn’t perfect in pass protection with a hit and a hurry allowed from 27 pass-blocking snaps on the day, but he did deliver the best run-blocking performance by a guard in the NFL this week. His 82.5 PFF run-blocking grade led the league.
