[...] the Rams arrived with the NFL's 32nd-ranked offense and struggling rookie quarterback in Goff. On the Rams' second drive, cornerback Tramaine Brock intercepted Goff and returned the pick 39 yards to the Rams' 17-yard line. The flurry began with a one-yard scoring run by Todd Gurley to cap a 52-yard drive highlighted by a 24-yard pass from Goff to Lance Kendricks on 4th-and-2. On the next play, wide receiver Tavon Austin took a jet sweep and sprinted 30 yards to give the Rams a 14-7 lead.

Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
