San Francisco has won six straight road games against the Rams and hopes to extend that streak on Sunday following a disappointing Week 2 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Fullback Kyle Juszczyk joined Bay Area radio station KNBR on Tuesday morning and discussed the advantage of having so many 49ers fans at SoFi Stadium.
"It's huge. It really is huge," Juszczyk said. "It makes all the difference. When you're on the road, in a loud environment, and it makes it hard to communicate, it makes it hard to hear the snap count, it truly does make a difference in the performance of your offense because communication is everything. We don't have the shortest plays around the league, so there's a lot of details that we need to hear in every play call.
"Getting off the rock and getting off the line of scrimmage on the snap count is everything, and getting positioning in your blocks, and all that sort of stuff. So for us to be able to do that on the road, it's such an advantage and something that we don't take lightly. That's why we appreciate our Faithful, man. They travel like nobody else, and it really, really does make a difference."
Against the Vikings in Minneapolis, Juszczyk noticed a decent turnout of 49ers fans in the stands, though the noise inside U.S. Bank Stadium likely drowned them out. Still, the fullback acknowledged the support from fans who made the trip.
"The Faithful showed up pretty solidly out in Minnesota, but I expect even more at Levi's—," Juszczyk said before quickly correcting himself by saying, "SoFi."
It was an understandable slip, as SoFi Stadium has earned the nickname "Levi's South," thanks to the overwhelming support the 49ers receive whenever they visit, making it feel like a true home away from home.
