49ers Dominate Rams Down Under, Tua Injured Before a Snap Taken, and Jalen Brunson to Host SNL

Joy Taylor marks the 100th episode of The Daily Play on 9/11, recognizing first responders before breaking down the 49ers’ 27–7 win over the Rams in Melbourne, where over 100,000 attended at the MCG and Netflix’s production was highlighted. She credits Kyle Shanahan, Raheem Morris, and the 49ers for a complete team win despite rookie receiver Dazahn Sterbling’s injury, and notes Sean McVay called the loss a “humbling day,” with travel and preparation differences potentially impacting the Rams, who also saw backup QB Stetson Bennett play late. Joy cautions against overreaction but calls it a wake-up call for LA. She then covers the Falcons’ worsening quarterback situation as Tua Tagovailoa suffers an oblique injury, Cooper Rush takes first-team reps, and Michael Penix Jr. remains out. She closes with Jalen Brunson, fresh off the Knicks championship, set to host the season premiere of SNL. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
