Two of the best defenses in the NFL kick off Week 5 on Thursday Night Football. The Los Angeles Rams play division rival down from the Bay, the San Francisco 49ers.
These defenses rank inside the top 10 in points allowed, yards allowed per game and passing yards allowed per game. The Rams have been better at getting after the quarterback and forcing turnovers as they rank second in sacks (14) and tied for fourth in takeaways (7).
Both defenses will have their hands full with these offenses. The 49ers are second in the NFL in passing yards per game (287.3) and the Rams are right behind them in third (278.5).
Now, with several offensive starters out for the 49ers, will the Rams’ defense flex their muscles and slow down this Niners’ offense? Be sure to place your bet with FanDuel Sportsbook and check out their promos.
