The last two games, they're a paltry 2 for 21 on third downs.
Both the Rams and 49ers had 93 yards in penalties, San Francisco on 13 calls and St. Louis on 12. The Rams were whistled for nine penalties two weeks ago.

The Rams (4-3) would have had 200 yards rushing while also getting strong production from backup Tre Mason had they not lost a yard on three kneel-downs at the end of Sunday's 27-6 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

Kenny Britt dropped a potential 40-plus yard catch off a well-timed throw from Foles in the first quarter.
"That just doesn't get it done," Fisher said after the game. "Pleased with the win, don't misunderstand me. We still have a lot of room for improvement."
"Trust me, he'll be all geared up to have a huge game with all this Todd Gurley talk,Wholesale Football Jerseys," Laurinaitis said.
"It's hard to lose when you don't give up points," defensive end Robert Quinn said. "Guys want to be stingy."
The next step will be trying to win three in a row for the first time since 2012, their first season under coach Jeff Fisher. The Rams are 2 1-2-point underdogs this week at Minnesota (5-2), which whipped them 34-6 in the opener last year in St. Louis.
