Nice blurb on the Rams defense from John Turney.
https://nflfootballjournal.blogspot.com/2020/10/big-day-for-aaron-donald-and-rams.html
The Rams defense set a few small records, but overall it was one of the better performances in Rams franchise history today versus Washington.
Aaron Donald had 4 sacks, talking him to 79.5 for his career, surpassing Joe Greene on PFJ's sack list
, and tying his own team record (shared with Sean Gilbert) for most sacks by a defensive tackle in a single game.
Inside linebacker Troy Reeder fell into three sacks of his own, setting the Rams record for most sacks by an inside/middle linebacker in a single game in team history, and that goes back to the late-1950s at least.
Previously inside 'backers Cory Littleton, Will Witherspoon, and London Fletcher each had a game with two sacks (the latter two had two each). In fact, Reader puts himself in very rare company of inside linebackers with three sacks in a game.
Exactly how many (since 1982) is debatable since some of the players on the 3+ sack list were inside linebackers in base defenses and edge rushers in nickel (such as Chad Brown, Charlie Clemens, Mathias Kiwanuka, and others). Still, Reeder is etched in the record books with the likes of Jack Lambert and Mike Singletary and other inside linebackers who each had three sacks once each. So there is that.
The eight sacks the Rams amassed today are tied for 12th for the most sacks in a game (since 1963) in franchise history.
The Rams allowed 38 yards rushing, which is tied for 36th all-time in Rams history (since 1940)—
The Rams also allowed just 70 yards passing, which is tied for 38th all-time.
Of course, tying for 36th and 38th in rushing and passing does not sound all that impressive but when a defense does it on the same day, it IS impressive. The total for 108 yards tied them for 12th all-time in fewest yards allowed.

Jared Goff looks different this year.
He looks like a top 5 QB for the long haul.
So impressed by this team today.
Aaron Donald continues to blow me away.
4-1 and something seems to be special about this 2020 Rams team.

No, they're not losing. They're being dissected by Ryan Frickin' Fitzpatrick.
37-14 near the end of the 3Q. And Beathard in for Grab-a-pole...

49ers bench Jimmy Garoppolo at halftime

Another week, another benching of a San Francisco 49ers quarterback, and another relief appearance by C.J. Beathard.
This time, though, the quarterback shown the pine was Jimmy Garoppolo, on whom the Niners bestowed a $137.5 million contractin 2018. Garoppolo was replaced Sunday at halftime, after he threw two interceptions while completing just 7 of 17 passes for 77 yards and a minuscule 15.7 passer rating, as his heavily favored team fell behind the visiting Miami Dolphins, 30-7.

I have been saying all week that the WFT offense sucks. I have quite a few fans in my office. And they told me the Tesms offense is really bad. So no surprises here. However, I agree with all of you that Reeder should be a delayed rusher on passing downs since he sucks in coverage.
