In week 3 of the NFL season the San Francisco 49ers traveled to LA to take on their division rivals, the Rams. The Niners had won 5 straight regular season games at Levis South (not counting the meaningless game to close out last season when no one played). This year the streak came to an end as the Red and Gold blew a 14 point lead for the first time since 2018 and fell to the Rams 27-24. Let’s see what went wrong, and if anything went right for the Niners.

The 49ers Game 3 @ The Rams
The 49ers Game 2 @ The Vikings
In week two of the NFL season the San Francisco 49ers traveled to Minnesota to take on the Vikings.

Let’s see if everything is as good as it seems.
