The more losses to NFC West teams, the better for the 49ers. It will take a big-time comeback from the Los Angeles Rams to avoid a loss Sunday to the Miami Dolphins, all thanks to Jared Goff's forgettable first half.
The Cal product and former No. 1 overall draft pick was intercepted twice and lost two fumbles in the first half on Sunday. One of his interceptions was returned for a Dolphins touchdown, and so was one of Goff's fumbles. NFL Twitter certainly didn't hold back on the Rams quarterback, too.
