2022 NFL season, Week 4: What We Learned from 49ers' win over Rams

DeMeco Ryans is due for a promotion. It appears the defensive coordinator isn't long for San Francisco because of how effective his unit has been in the first month of the season, and Monday night stands as his best showing yet. Ryans capitalized on a weakened Rams offensive line by dialing up plenty of pressure with a variety of attacks, overwhelming the undermanned Rams to the tune of seven sacks. Ryans' defense reduced the Los Angeles offense to rubble, limiting the Rams to 257 total yards and keeping them out of the end zone entirely. When things got close late, rising star Talanoa Hufanga delivered the knockout punch with a fantastic pick-six. We've seen enough to know the 49ers won't always get the best performances from Jimmy Garoppolo, but if the defense remains this effective, they'll have a shot in every game -- and Ryans will find himself on the head-coaching interview circuit in 2023.

The Rams' offense is in shambles. Widely seen as an offensive genius, Sean McVay hasn't found an answer for Los Angeles' struggles with the football. The offensive line has been decimated by injuries to the point Matthew Stafford chose to throw to Cooper Kupp -- his only trusted target -- in double coverage on a crucial third-and-10 instead of waiting one more beat to look to Allen Robinson, resulting in an incompletion. Robinson, meanwhile, continues to struggle to find a place in this offense, and Los Angeles hasn't shown much of an offensive rhythm. Kupp is all Stafford has to work with in this offense right now. And the running game remains absent, gaining just 57 yards as a team. That's deserving of a place on the side of a milk carton, and is the only explanation for McVay calling three straight passes in a goal-to-go situation from San Francisco's 8-yard line.
