  • Safety Quentin Lake called the pairing of two multi-time Defensive Players of the Year "unheard of," as the Rams now feature one of the NFL's most formidable defensive lines.
  • The San Francisco 49ers face the Rams in Week 1 in Melbourne, Australia, as Los Angeles aims to hoist the Lombardi Trophy at SoFi Stadium this season.
