The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams face off in a Week 2 NFC West showdown at 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday at SoFi Stadium.
The Rams placed All-Pro wide receiver Cooper Kupp on injured reserve ahead of Week 1.
So it came as a bit of a surprise when the Rams passing game tore apart Seattle's secondary. Stafford threw for 334 yards on the day. Most of his passes were caught by largely unknown players. Third-year pro Tutu Atwell caught six passes for 119 yards, while rookie fifth-round pick Puka Nacua accounted for another 119 yards on 10 catches.
Atwell had never reached 100 receiving yards through his first two NFL seasons. And Nacua's first game was certainly a productive one. Kupp will be out until at least Week 5. In the meantime, Stafford seems to have found a few new favorite targets. "Did a great job," Stafford said postgame."It's what I've been seeing in practice, and those guys gotta take a lot of confidence from going out there in practice and making plays like that. And, again, there's a few I want back with both of those guys that could've been an even better day."Caesars Sportsbook lists the 49ers as eight-point favorites over the Rams as of Thursday morning. The over/under on the game is listed at 44.5 points.
