SANTA CLARA — You’re not going to win many football games when you fall behind 21-0.

So no, the 49ers didn’t beat the Rams Sunday in a pivotal Week 10 NFC West matchup. Frankly, it was incredible they were ever within striking distance of Los Angeles in a game that ended 42-20, with LA posting 402 yards of offense, while registering no penalties (to the Niners’ seven), and winning the turnover battle 2-0 on Sunday.

The Niners fell to 6-4 on the season with the loss and are clearly in a second tier all to themselves in the division, trailing the Seahawks (44-22 winners) and Rams.
