SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

Last time out: Rams 39, 49ers 10

Record: 1-6 overall, 0-2 in division

Snapshot: The 49ers fell behind 22-0 by the second quarter and never threatened. Tight end George Kittle had another nice game, finishing with five catches for 98 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback C.J. Beathard was 15-of-27 for 170 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.

Notable: San Francisco turned the ball over four times on the day and now have a league-high 18 turnovers on the season. The 49ers have dropped all four of their games since starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was lost for the year with a torn ACL.

Quotable: "We have to fix the turnovers. Once we fix the turnovers, then we have a chance to start playing football." – coach Kyle Shanahan, via the Associated Press, on giving the ball away

Injury Update: Running back Matt Breida (ankle), linebacker Reuben Foster (shoulder) and safety Adrian Colbert (ankle) all left the game with injuries.

Next up: The 49ers travel to play the Cardinals in Week 8

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Last time out: The Seahawks had a bye in Week 7

Record: 3-3 overall, 1-1 in division

Bye-week synopsis: The Seahawks have won three of their past four games to get back to .500 on the season. They clearly aren't the elite contender of yesteryear but Seattle has done a nice job staying in the playoff hunt while re-tooling. The Seahawks are currently fifth in the NFL in scoring defense despite the departure of many big names and the loss of safety Earl Thomas to a season-ending broken leg. It is still early in the season and Seattle must prove it can keep up this pace with so many new faces.

LOS ANGELES RAMS

Last time out: Rams 39, 49ers 10

Record: 7-0 overall, 3-0 in division

Snapshot: Defensive tackle Aaron Donald had a monster game, accumulating four sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery to lead Los Angeles to an easy win. Donald now leads the NFL with eight sacks. Running back Todd Gurley had 63 yards rushing, 23 yards receiving and three total touchdowns.

Notable: Quarterback Jared Goff finished 18-of-24 for 202 yards with a pair of touchdowns. Safety John Johnson III and cornerback Troy Hill each had interceptions as the Rams dominated on both sides of the ball. Los Angeles remains the only undefeated team in the NFL.

Quotable: "It seemed like every time we sat down, we got back up and went on the field," – Goff, via the Associated Press, on the outstanding performance by the defense
