Led by Brock Purdy's 3-TD night, 49ers remind NFL that Rams, Seahawks are no sure bet
The Niners showed the NFL this week that their talent and coaching staff threaten their fellow division mates and Super Bowl darlings: the Rams and the Seahawks.
The San Francisco 49ers, once considered an underdog in the 2025 NFL season, staged an impressive upset by defeating the Los Angeles Rams with a score of 27-7 in Melbourne, Australia. This victory was led by quarterback Brock Purdy, who threw three touchdown passes and ran for an additional 29 yards on the ground. The Rams, who entered the game with high expectations due to their star players Matthew Stafford and Myles Garrett, were unable to prevent the 49ers from dominating time of possession on offense.
While some factors such as injuries and coaching changes may have played a role in the outcome, the 49ers' performance demonstrates their potential as a strong contender in the NFL.
