Niners Storm Past Rams After Slow Start

(St. Louis, MO) -- The Rams jumped out to an early two-touchdown lead but the 49ers stormed back for a 31-17 victory on "Monday Night Football" from the Edward Jones Dome. Colin Kaepernick threw for 343 yards and three touchdowns, one of which went 80 yards to Brandon Lloyd with just 14 seconds left in the first half. Kaepernick hit Anquan Boldin and Michael Crabtree for scores while rushing for 37 yards.

Dontae Johnson returned an interception 20 yards for a touchdown with about a minute to play as San Francisco improved to 4-2. Austin Davis threw for 236 yards with a touchdown to Lance Kendricks and the INT in defeat for St. Louis. Tre Mason ran for 40 yards while Benny Cunningham added 21 yards and a TD on the ground as the Rams fell to 1-4.

It was mixed results for Rams quarterback Austin Davis against the 49ers. He completed 21-of-42 passes for 236 yards and a touchdown, but was also sacked five times and had an interception returned for a touchdown that sealed the San Francisco win. Davis' lone TD pass was a 22-yarder to tight end Lance Kendricks in the first quarter.

The Rams recognized the "Greatest Show on Turf" during last night's game. Members of the 1999 team were on hand to celebrate the 15th anniversary of their Super Bowl championship. The current Rams wore the royal blue and yellow throwback uniforms. Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt led a brief "Bob N' Weave" TD dance at halftime.
