For the first time this NFL season, the San Francisco 49ers have won the team of the week honor for this week. Eight weeks through and it looks like the 49ers have finally found their groove going into the bye week with some new faces to help them out.
The 49ers marched into SoFi Stadium for what looked like a home game against the Rams because of how many 49er fans there were, and absolutely destroyed LA, 31-14. LA has not looked very sharp this year, but to go into someone else's house and absolutely manhandle them like the niners did is pretty impressive. I forgot to mention the Rams are also the defending super bowl champs and beat the niners on their way to the championship as well.
Arguably the biggest acquisition before the trade deadline was made by the 49ers after acquiring one of the best running backs in the league in Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey showed why he was worth all of those picks that the niners gave up to get him in this victory.
Not only did he run for a touchdown, not only did he catch a touchdown, but he also threw a touchdown as well! How often do you see that happen? Also, mind that he was just acquired a little over a week prior to the game, so for him to get adjusted to the playbook that quickly is pretty impressive.
Besides McCaffrey, the entire team was thriving especially the defense as they dominated the Rams offense. Even with no Deebo Samuel, the 49ers offense was not affected negatively as not only did CMC step up, but Brandon Aiyuk had himself a good game as well.
The Niners are not a team to mess with in the NFC and they proved it here in week 8. They can easily win their division as it is totally up for grabs and they definitely look like the best team in that division as well. The 49ers cruise to a dominant victory heading into their bye week as they take home the team of the week for week 8.
