Story line: Marc Bulger hit Torry Holt with TD pass on opening drive before Rams offense stalled, gaining just 38 yards in 2nd half. But their defense was solid until final seconds to hand 49ers their 8th loss in row — longest skid since 1999. Rams won 2nd straight since starting 0-8.
Star: Rams’ Steven Jackson ran for 92 yards in 2nd full game after missing 4 weeks with torn groin and most of another game with bulging disc in his back.
Extra point: Rams’ Isaac Bruce had 5 catches for 54 yards, passing Henry Ellard for 6th on NFL’s career receiving yardage list (13,817).
Quote: “We’re really showing we’re not going to lay down or roll over. We dug ourselves in a deep hole, and now we’re trying to catapult ourselves out of it.”
— Jackson.
