After sneaking in a rushing touchdown early, Sam Darnold got on the board through the air before halftime against the Los Angeles Rams.
With Brock Purdy is on the sideline, Sam Darnold rifled in a touchdown pass to rookie Ronnie Bell. From five yards out, Darnold spun a touchdown pass into a tight window for the rookie pass catcher out of Michigan.
With a touchdown through the air and on the ground from Darnold, the 49ers jumped out to a commanding 21-7 lead before halftime against their division rivals.
