The Rams travel north to face the 49ers in an NFC West battle on “Monday Night Football.” If Los Angeles earns the victory in the Week 10 matchup, it will be tied with the Cardinals atop the division at 8-2.
LA will be counting on quarterback Matthew Stafford, who is coming off a two-interception game in a Week 9 loss to the Titans. No. 1 wide receiver Cooper Kupp and new wideout Odell Beckham Jr. will be his main targets. Beckham will be making his Rams debut after signing with the team Thursday. No. 2 receiver Robert Woods is out for the season after he suffered a torn ACL in practice Friday. Kupp leads the NFL with 1,019 receiving yards and 10 receiving touchdowns.
Stafford, however, will be going up against the NFL’s top-ranked pass defense. End Nick Bosa leads the 49ers with seven sacks and 12 tackles for loss.

49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw for a season-high 326 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception, in the team’s 31-17 loss to the Cardinals last week. He connected with tight end George Kittle on six receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown, and he found wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk six times for 89 yards and a touchdown. Deebo Samuel leads the 49ers with 882 receiving yards.
The Rams have linebacker Von Miller available to pressure Garoppolo. Miller is making his LA debut, as well; he sat out last week’s game with an ankle injury after being acquired from the Broncos at the NFL trade deadline Nov. 2. Leonard Floyd is the Rams’ sack leader with 7.5. All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald is next with six.
LA enters the game as a 3 1/2-point road favorite, according to FanDuel.
