Brock Purdy, 49ers dominate Rams 27-7 in Australia - nbcsports.com

Much will be made of the travel arrangements for the 49ers and Rams, but Los Angeles better hope its lackluster performance is jet lag and nothing more.

The 49ers dominated the Rams from start to finish, winning 27-7 in Melbourne.

San Francisco spent the past week in Australia, while Los Angeles showed up 28 hours before kickoff and stayed on Pacific Time in its brief stay. The 49ers not only looked like the fresher team but the better team.

Mike Evans scored a touchdown in his 49ers’ debut; Deebo Samuel scored a touchdown in his return; Nick Bosa, Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw showed what a difference they make to the team’s defense; and Trent Williams confirmed he’s the best left tackle in the game.
