NFL Week 2 power rankings: 49ers behind Rams despite Week 1 win

We had a fun NFL slate wrap up in blowout fashion on Monday night, as the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Denver Broncos 31-10 to cap a memorable Week 1. There were some timely upsets, some close battles, and then some blowouts between good teams. Kansas City had one of those games. The San Francisco 49ers had another when they beat the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 back on Thursday night in Australia, marking one of the best Week 1 wins on the slate (if not the best). Heading into the season, the 49ers we

49ers News: NFL Week 1 is officially in the books

I was watching two more of our opponents play on Monday Night Football, and I feel even more confident in predicting that the 49ers will beat the Broncos in week 4… and slightly less confident that we can beat the Chiefs in week 16. Denver’s ILB Alex Singleton had 5 missed tackles, so not only is he a liability in the passing game, he’s also struggling in his supposed strong suit. On offense, the only player making anything happen was the TE Evan Engram (with some decent pop from RJ Harvey in th

Should the 49ers buy more into the RB committee after Week 1?

49ers listed as a potential trade target for disgruntled Steelers CB

(Photo by Randy Litzinger/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) | Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The San Francisco 49ers will be a trade target for just about every position out there as the season goes along. Week 1 was a mirage, and the battle of attrition can prove to be costly. One area where

What will the 49ers do during De’Zhaun Stribling’s absence?

(Photo by Robert Cianflone/Getty Images) The San Francisco 49ers made it back from Australia with a big victory, but rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling suffered an ankle injury and will miss some time. Stribling started the game with veteran Mike Evans, which is a sign of his big involvement. Unfortunately, after just over 20 snaps, Stribling was carted off. His timeline is unclear at the moment, and the 49ers will have to replace the speedy rookie. The plan after Stribling left the game

11 Winners from the 49ers’ blowout win over the Rams

(Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/Getty Images) | Getty Images When you outclass your opponent in the way that the San Francisco 49ers did to the Los Angeles Rams, it’s difficult to come up with multiple “losers.” The Niners won by 20, but it felt like the margin was greater. Brock Purdy’s QBR was 50 points higher than the other starter. The running game averaged 1.6 yards per carry more than the Rams. The vaunted defense we heard about all offseason was wearing the wrong jersey. S

(Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/Getty Images) | Getty Images Welcome to the weekly NFC West recap. For those of you new to the program, we’ll do a rundown of how the San Francisco 49ers are faring against their other NFC West rivals and any news from those games that might be noteworthy. And we begin things with who is in the lead. First, all the NFC West teams won this weekend—except the Los Angeles Rams. Of those three, the 49ers are in first place after Week 1. Divisional ga

49ers open up as nearly 2-touchdown favorites against the Dolphins

(Photo by Quinn Rooney/Getty Images) | Getty Images The San Francisco 49ers were underdogs in Week 1. After the beatdown they put on the Rams, it might be months until they’re not favored to win. According to the Week 2 odds on FanDuel Sportsbook, the Niners are favored to beat the Miami Dolphins by 13.5 points, with the total on the game listed at 45.5. Generally, large spreads with low totals are a sportsbook’s way of telling you a blowout is coming. The 49ers allowed one touchdown against t

49ers News: We’re on to Miami

(Photo by Bob Kupbens/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) | Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The 49ers’ Week 2 opponent played yesterday, and they seemed like they’d be competitive this season. For a chance to draft Jeremiah Smith. Maybe he’ll be a good #2 to Caleb Douglas, who looks legit. But besides him, the Miami Dolphins looked totally hapless against the Las Vegas Raiders. Of all the many nits available to pick, mine is that their edges seemed incapable of defending the run. Myles Garrett,

49ers’ rookie De’Zhaun Stribling to miss ‘at least a month’ with deltoid sprain in ankle

(Photo by Martin KEEP / AFP via Getty Images) | AFP via Getty Images When San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling suffered an injury in Week 1 against the Rams, it seemed like we were headed for the dreaded worst-case scenario, as it was a non-contact injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that Stribling’s Achilles was still intact, which was great news. After Stribling needed further testing, Ian Rapoport tweeted that he is out at least a month with a deltoid sprain in

Brock Purdy makes history after Rams win

Photo by Frank Jansky/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) | Icon Sportswire via Getty Images We’ve been talking about both the suffocating defense and Brock Purdy’s effectiveness in the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 1 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Here, we’re going to do a bit more on the former, because there’s a nice Brock Purdy stat to bring up here, if you don’t mind. With his 25-for-34 passing (73 percent completions), Brock Purdy now has the highest completion percentage of any NFL quart

49ers had zero sacks against the Rams, but still made massive improvements getting to the quarterback

(Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/Getty Images) | Getty Images 58. That’s the number of quarterback hits the San Francisco 49ers generated in the 2025 season. That’s not very good. Even in Week 1, when the entire defense was healthy, the 49ers generated a paltry two quarterback hits and a single sack. Week 1 in their win over the Los Angeles Rams? Zero sacks, but eight hits. 13 percent of their entire 2025 total. Now, yes, it is Week 1, so it’s fair to look at last year’s Week 1 p

49ers-Rams: Exposing some bad takes made before the game

(Photo by Quinn Rooney/Getty Images) | Getty Images The San Francisco 49ers went to Melbourne, Australia, and beat the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 on Thursday. The 49ers were three-point underdogs, but the Rams were being seen as the darlings of the NFL. I think ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith said it best the next day when asked if the media overhyped the Los Angeles Rams: “It appears so.” If you’re like me, you like to point out when people are wrong—especially when it’s bad predictions on the 49ers or t
