The Los Angeles Rams collected a 42-26 win on the road against NFC West rivals San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, but not before a worrisome injury development. In the fourth quarter of the contest, Los Angeles star wide receiver Davante Adams was seen leaving the field with an apparent upper-body injury.

And it had the NFL community taking the team very seriously as a top contender:

The Los Angeles Rams met the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at Levi's Stadium for a Week 10 division battle, and Sean McVay's team earned a 42-26 win to move to 7-2 on the season and stay in a tie for the top spot in the NFC West.

The way Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams picked apart the injury-riddled defense for San Francisco, it raised questions about why the 49ers weren't more aggressive before last week's trade deadline.

The NFC West is loaded at the top, and two of the division's contenders meet on Sunday when the 6-3 San Francisco 49ers host the 6-2 Los Angeles Rams. This is the second meeting between these two rivals, as the 49ers won the Week 5 matchup 26-23 in overtime on Thursday Night Football.

Ferguson, who recorded his first even NFL catch against the 49ers, is the Rams' biggest matchup advantage, especially with Fred Warner not being able to play. However, just because he's good on paper and in flashes, he was drafted for moments like this, so will Ferguson make that massive step needed to put San Francisco on the back foot?

The Rams dominated the first half, taking a 21-7 lead into the locker room at halftime. But they provided the 49ers with hope, gaining only 33 yards on 10 plays on their final two possessions and punting twice. The 49ers got within two touchdowns on a seven-play, 36-yard drive that ended with Jauan Jennings’ 6-yard touchdown catch.
