Los Angeles Rams 21, San Francisco 49ers 20

Defensive spotlight: Rams rookie edge defender Byron Young came into this game just two sacks behind his own teammate Kobie Turner for the most on the year among rookies.

The Rams locked up the top two spots on that list, as Young finished second in rookie sacks.
