How it unfolded
The Rams opened on a Stafford touchdown drive to take a 7-0 lead. The 49ers answered with a Garoppolo touchdown to Aiyuk. The Rams added another touchdown to lead 14-7. McCaffrey threw a 34-yard touchdown pass on the next 49ers drive, a piece of trickery that turned the game's narrative. McCaffrey then ran in a touchdown and caught one to push the lead to 24-14. A late field goal extended it to 31-14.
The turning point

Personnel watch
McCaffrey in his first full 49ers workload, producing the kind of complete-package afternoon the front office had been envisioning when they made the trade. The 49ers' offensive line, with all its starters available, generated the kind of run lanes that defined the day.
What it means
4-4 entering the bye week, with the rivalry streak intact and the McCaffrey integration looking like a real piece of the offensive identity. The Chargers come up at home in two weeks on Sunday Night Football.
