In a commanding performance, the Los Angeles Rams topped the San Francisco 49ers 45-24 in Week 1 of the 2026 season. Both teams entered the game with high expectations, but the Rams quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in this early matchup. Rams running back Bhayshul Tuten was the standout performer on offense, racking up an impressive 152 rushing yards, while quarterback Lamar Jackson of the 49ers threw for 238 yards and two touchdowns.

Defensively, the Rams set the tone with Caleb Ransaw leading the charge with six tackles, while Cameron Jordan added two sacks to disrupt the 49ers' rhythm. The game’s turning point came in the second quarter when Deonte Banks intercepted a pass, halting a San Francisco drive and allowing the Rams to capitalize on the momentum with a quick touchdown, ultimately sealing their victory.
