"How did the Rams lose? right guard Dominick Puni casually asked at his locker. The last thing I saw (pregame) was the training room TV and they were lining up for a winning field goal. Nope, the Eagles blocked it, returned it 44 yards for a touchdown, and remained unbeaten with a 33-26 home win over the Rams (2-1). The NFC's only other 3-0 team is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who, like the 49ers, won on a walk-off field goal."
"Meanwhile, Kyler Murray rolled away from them, chucked a third-down incompletion, and Bosa trudged off to the sideline with a right-knee injury that jeopardizes his immediate future. Coach Kyle Shanahan said a preliminary examination did not reveal a dreaded tear of Bosa's anterior cruciate ligament which was torn in Bosa's other knee in 2020 Week 2 but further imaging should lead to a better diagnosis Shanahan might share on his 3:30 p.m. Monday call with reporters."
The San Francisco 49ers sit atop the NFC West at 3-0 after a 35-yard walk-off field goal by Eddy Pineiro. San Francisco's wins have been by four, five and one point, showing consistently tight margins. Philadelphia beat the Rams 33-26 when a blocked field goal was returned 44 yards for a touchdown. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the NFC's other 3-0 team. Jake Moody moved on to the Chicago Bears practice squad while Pineiro delivers clutch kicks. Defensive end Nick Bosa left with a right-knee injury; preliminary exams reportedly did not show an ACL tear, but further imaging is planned.
