Talanoa Hufanga had an interesting way to break down his first career pick-six following the 49ers' 24-9 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Hufanga's 52-yard interception return for six points occurred in the fourth quarter on a screen pass from Matthew Stafford to Cooper Kupp.

"Screens, you can smell a rat when it comes to those things," Hufanga said postgame. "Just kind of very quick to the flat, [the Rams had] been doing it all night. I think they were just trying to get back on track, get things going."
Once the 49ers' safety hauled in the interception, he was, however, a bit worried about getting across the goal line.
"Thought Stafford was going to catch me, I'm not going to lie," Hufanga said with a laugh. "My [40-yard dash] time doesn’t help when it comes to that."
Stafford chased Hufanga down, but the Rams quarterback didn't get close enough for a diving attempt to bring him down.
