Plenty of headlines emerged when the Week 1 matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers was announced this offseason.

49ers 90-in-90: Nick Bosa returns from a serious knee injury for the 2nd time this decade
The San Francisco 49ers needed the best version of Nick Bosa in 2025 to compete defensively.
