TEAM PROFILE

What Each Team Does Well and Where It Has Problems

Los Angeles Rams

What Los Angeles Does Best

Matthew Stafford gives Los Angeles a way to flip field position in one snap. That is the football behind the 90.0 Explosiveness grade.

Lowest-Rated Area

Roster Strength is Los Angeles' lowest grade at 85.0, and it is still a strength. The current ratings do not show an obvious weak spot.

San Francisco 49ers

What San Francisco Does Best

Brock Purdy is the player opponents have to solve first. The 85.7 QB Stability grade reflects how much of San Francisco's offense can run through him.

What San Francisco Needs to Fix

San Francisco is asking Christian McCaffrey to create too much the hard way. The 77.9 Explosiveness grade leaves the offense needing too many long drives to score.

PFM ANALYSIS

What the PFM Numbers Say

Matthew Stafford makes Los Angeles harder to defend because the offense can score without a long drive. The 12.1-point Explosiveness gap shows how much harder San Francisco has to work for points. Myles Garrett gives Los Angeles the defense you would trust more when the game comes down to one stop.

San Francisco has one real advantage in Roster Strength, so Los Angeles cannot treat this as a walkover. Even so, Los Angeles has the better setup because its advantages in big-play ability and on defense point in the same direction.
