Hour 2 - Brock O'Clock

The 49ers' 27-7 win over the Rams in Australia was less a statement and more a placement test that San Francisco passed — but barely, according to Ben Maller. Brock Purdy threw three touchdown passes but averaged just six yards per throw, dinking and dunking his way through what Maller called "football oatmeal" that the Rams choked on. The Niners converted nearly 60% of their third downs, controlled possession with methodical drives, and held the Rams to one meaningful possession that ended with a failed Matthew Stafford quarterback keep at the goal line. Maller called that play call "dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb." The win came after an 11-day scandal involving Kyle Shanahan, a "faux accident," and a police cover-up that Maller said raises questions about what the team was hiding. Combined with the 49ers' billionaire owner reportedly seeking "a little nookie in a double wide trailer at an Ohio mobile home park," the team desperately needed a normal night. They got one. But Maller cautioned: "The NFL injury rate is 100%. Check back midseason when McCaffrey's dinged up and Bosa's out."
