SANTA CLARA — The 49ers' defense delivered a big performance against the high-powered Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night.

Here are the takeaways from the 49ers' loss, which drops them to 6-8 on the season: Samuel's tough sledding Wide receiver Deebo Samuel went to social media this week to exclaim that he is not struggling. He suggested that he is merely lacking opportunities. When he got his big chance on Thursday night, he flubbed it. In a 3-3 game in the middle of the third quarter, Purdy delivered a perfectly thrown pass for Samuel that would have picked up a lot more than just a first down on a third-and-10 play from the Rams' 29.
