San Francisco has eight consecutive regular-season victories over the Rams, who host the Niners again on Sunday in a meeting of 1-0 teams.
Even if those defeats all pale in importance to Los Angeles' narrow 20-17 win over San Francisco in the NFC championship game in January 2022, four years of rivalry losses to a good friend's team are an obvious — if unacknowledged — thorn in McVay's side.
The Rams don't appear to be a great team this season around Aaron Donald and Matthew Stafford, but they're off to a strong start with a road victory over Seattle. Los Angeles' young, largely untested roster faces a formidable test from San Francisco's Super Bowl contenders. Nearly five years later, Donald and the Rams get their first up-close look at Purdy, the seventh-round pick who seized control of the 49ers' offense as a rookie late last season.
