Despite a difficult 27-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL’s historic regular-season opener in Melbourne, Australia, the Los Angeles Rams still found a few bright spots on offense. Rookie running back Blake Corum delivered an impressive performance, leading the backfield with 54 rushing yards on 10 carries (5.4 yards per carry) and showcasing the explosive playmaking ability that head coach Sean McVay praised during training camp. Star wideout Puka Nacua also proved fully healthy after battling a psoas injury in the preseason, pacing all receivers in the contest with five receptions for 74 yards, including a highlight 40-yard catch that nearly resulted in a touchdown. The game also saw significant contributions from former Rams who made key plays for San Francisco. Veteran receiver Demarcus Robinson caught a 39-yard touchdown pass from Brock Purdy to give the 49ers momentum, while former Los Angeles defensive coordinator Raheem Morris—now leading San Francisco’s defense—held the Rams to just a single score.
