8 PM (ESPN) NFL Football A clash of NFC West rivals is on tap tonight at Levi’s Stadium, where Trey Lance and the San Francisco 49ers welcome in Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams. Lacking salary cap space and a first round pick, the Niners made no big acquisitions and actually took a step backward this offseason following their 10-7 record in 2021. The Rams made a few personnel changes over the summer that have them primed to repeat their victory in Super Bowl LVI this past February.
