THE WIDER PICTURE
Team SRS SOS MARGIN TO +/-
49ers -3.8 +3.3 -7.1 +5
Rams +2.7 +5.5 -2.7 -4
SRS is how many points a side beats an average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20. SOS is how hard that schedule has been. Full table.

IN THE BOOTH
Zoe Bell The contrarian
San Francisco had more yards and still lost—that's what 2 interceptions to 1 turnover does, and Purdy's 2 picks turned a winnable game into a 3-point hole the Niners couldn't climb out of.
Talia Morgan Beat reporter · replying
San Francisco's problem isn't efficiency—it's self-inflicted damage. The Niners had 412 yards and still lost by 3, which tracks with a team that's given away 3 balls in a season full of them.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers — none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that did not happen.

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
