Leave a comment

**CEA Industries Inc. Adopts Stockholder Rights Plan and Amended Bylaws to Safeguard Shareholder Interests**

**Rights Plan Protects Against Change of Control Without Premium; New Bylaws Ensure Orderly Consent Solicitation**

*LOUISVILLE, CO, Dec. 28, 2025* (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CEA Industries Inc. (Nasdaq: BNC) (the “Company” or “BNC”), which manages the world’s largest corporate treasury of BNB, today announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has unanimously adopted a limited duration stockholder rights agreement (the “Rights Plan”) and amended and restated bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) as of December 26, 2025.

These actions were taken following the recent formation of a stockholder group, the “YZi Labs Group,” led by YZILabs Management Ltd. (“YZi Labs”), which is seeking control of the Company.

—

### Background: YZi Labs Group’s Actions

As previously confirmed by CEA Industries, YZi Labs recently filed a preliminary consent statement seeking to obtain a majority of the seats on the Board. On December 23, 2025, YZi Labs also filed an amended Schedule 13D with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), announcing the formation of a group and naming seven director nominees.

The amended Schedule 13D disclosed that the YZi Labs Group currently holds 7.0% of CEA Industries’ outstanding common stock (the “Common Stock”). Additionally, YZi Labs controls warrants that could significantly boost its ownership:

– **In-the-money warrants:** Entitle the acquisition of 11,314,869 shares at a strike price of $0.00001 per share, raising ownership to 19.99% (on a diluted basis).
– **Out-of-the-money warrants:** Permit the acquisition of 11,089,111 shares at $15.15 per share, which, combined with the above, could increase aggregate ownership to 34.2% (on a diluted basis).
1 Calculations based on 44,062,938 shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 12, 2025 (excluding 4,139,194 shares underlying in-the-money warrants limited by beneficial ownership provisions).

—

### Purpose of the Rights Plan and Amended Bylaws

The Rights Plan and Amended and Restated Bylaws are not intended to prevent YZi Labs from soliciting support from CEA Industries’ stockholders or to stop stockholders from granting revocable consents. Instead, they are designed to:

– Protect the Company and stockholders from a change of control without the payment of an appropriate control premium;
– Provide the Board enough time and opportunity to make informed decisions in stockholders’ best interests;
– Ensure an orderly and informed consent solicitation process.

—

### Stockholder Rights Plan: Key Terms

The Rights Plan, consistent with similar plans adopted by other public companies, aims to reduce the likelihood of any person, entity, or group gaining control of CEA Industries solely by accumulating shares, without paying all stockholders a fair premium.

**Highlights:**

– **Dividend of Rights:** One preferred share purchase right will be issued for:
– Each outstanding share of Common Stock held as of January 8, 2026,
– The aggregate number of shares issuable upon full exercise of certain company warrants (“Participating Warrants”) as of that date (ignoring any exercise limitations),
– Each new share of Common Stock issued after that date until the rights become exercisable.
– **Activation Threshold:** Rights generally become exercisable if any person or group acquires 15.0% or more of the outstanding Common Stock without Board approval.
– **Grandfather Clause:** Ownership above 15.0% prior to the Rights Plan adoption (such as by the YZi Labs Group) is permitted, but further increases after adoption will trigger the Rights Plan.
– **Dilution Mechanism:** If triggered, every holder (except the acquirer) may buy additional Common Stock at a 50% discount.
– **Change of Control Protection:** If the Company is acquired after an unapproved party surpasses the 15% threshold, rightsholders can purchase the acquirer’s shares at a 50% discount.
– **Board Discretion:** The Board may exchange rights for shares or redeem them at $0.001 per right.
– **Duration:** The Rights Plan expires on December 26, 2026, unless terminated earlier by the Board.

—

### Amended and Restated Bylaws: Ensuring Orderly Consent

The Board also approved Amended and Restated Bylaws that:

– Require any stockholder seeking to act by written consent to first request the Company to fix a record date and provide all information required as if at an annual meeting;
– Stipulate that consents must be received within 60 days from the date the first consent is received for any action to be valid;
– Help facilitate an orderly and transparent consent solicitation, similar to best practices at other public companies.

Full details will be provided in upcoming Current Reports on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC.

Stores Open on Thanksgiving with Adjusted Hours From Dunkin’, ShopRite, and McDonald’s (Walmart Still Closed)

Leave a comment

Last-minute Thanksgiving shoppers face limited options as major US retailers adopt highly varied strategies. Some chains are maintaining early morning hours, while others are shutting entirely for the holiday. Dunkin’, ShopRite, Food Lion, and McDonald’s: Varying Schedules Many Dunkin’, Food Lion, ShopRite, and McDonald’s locations will be open on Thanksgiving Day 2025. However, hours are generally reduced or stores close earlier than usual to allow staff time with their families. Exact timings vary widely depending on franchise ownership and local decisions. This fragmented landscape reflects the franchise model many retailers employ, allowing individual store owners to determine holiday operations based on local demand and staffing considerations. Dunkin’ Opens Early with Reduced Hours Many Dunkin’ stores will open at their usual times-often between 4am and 6am-and operate through late morning or early afternoon. A company spokesperson confirmed to Fox Business that while many locations will remain open, hours will differ by store. Customers are advised to check the Dunkin’ mobile app for specific opening times before visiting. According to Parade, nearly all Dunkin’ outlets are independently owned and operated by franchisees. The decision to open, close, or reduce hours ultimately rests with individual store owners. However, historical trends suggest most Dunkin’ locations will be open on Thanksgiving morning. Grocery Chains’ Mixed Schedules Food Lion stores are expected to be open, though many will operate on limited hours-generally from 7am to 3pm. All Food Lion pharmacies will remain closed for the holiday. ShopRite’s Thanksgiving hours vary significantly by franchise. Some locations will be closed entirely, as reported by Axios. Those that open are expected to close by mid-afternoon, typically between 2pm and 4pm. This variation highlights the decentralised nature of US retail, where franchise agreements and local regulations create significant differences even within the same chain. McDonald’s Maintains Widespread Availability Most McDonald’s outlets will be open on Thanksgiving 2025, but hours differ by location. Many restaurants will remain open, although franchise owners decide operating hours locally. A McDonald’s spokesperson confirmed to Fox Business that most locations will be open, but hours may vary. Customers are encouraged to use the store locator for specific timings. Fast-food chains like McDonald’s often maintain holiday operations to serve travellers and families seeking convenient meals. However, hours tend to differ based on franchise decisions. Major Retailers Extend Holiday Closure Policies Walmart will remain closed nationwide on Thanksgiving for the sixth consecutive year-a policy shift that began in 2020 and is now permanent. Stores will reopen early on Black Friday, often around 6am. Similarly, Target, Costco, Trader Joe’s, and Publix have committed to staying closed on Thanksgiving, prioritising employee wellbeing over holiday trading. Regional Variations Affect Opening Hours State laws in Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island mandate most stores remain closed on Thanksgiving, according to Axios. Local regulations in other areas may also restrict operating hours. Many convenience stores, including 7-Eleven, Circle K, and Wawa, will operate on near-normal schedules, with many 24-hour locations remaining open continuously. CVS stores will largely remain open with reduced hours; some 24-hour outlets will keep regular hours, but pharmacy counters may close earlier or be shuttered entirely. Whole Foods generally operates with reduced hours-around 7am to 1pm-while Kroger-owned chains such as Ralphs, Fred Meyer, and King Soopers tend to close by mid-afternoon or early evening, around 5pm. Balancing Business and Employee Wellbeing This patchwork of holiday hours reflects broader industry trends. Retailers are balancing commercial opportunities against evolving expectations around work-life balance and employee satisfaction. The move away from Thanksgiving Day openings began as a pandemic-era employee-wellness measure and has since gained widespread acceptance, especially as families increasingly rely on early Black Friday online deals that now start earlier in the week. Planning Your Shopping Trip Shoppers planning to make purchases on Thanksgiving Day should verify specific store hours through mobile apps or direct calls to avoid unnecessary journeys.

Mariah Carey Is Back on the Billboard Top 10, Rules Holiday 100 Charts as Christmas Season Settles In

Leave a comment

It’s Time! Mariah Carey has officially cemented her chart return and begun ng Christmas Season, as ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ once again takes over Billboard’s holiday rankings. As the festive period approaches, the bestselling track has climbed to No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and secured its position at the top of the Holiday 100 chart, where it has dominated for more than a decade. A Seasonal Classic That Continues to Build Momentum Billboard confirmed that the song has now ruled the Holiday 100 for 66 of the chart’s 74 total weeks since its launch in 2011, a record unmatched by any other seasonal hit. The ranking uses the same formula as the Billboard Hot 100, relying on a combination of airplay, streaming and sales. According to Billboard’s streaming data, the track continues to grow in popularity each year. In the most recent tracking period, the song registered 15. 7 million streams in the United States, marking a 14 per cent weekly increase. Radio impressions rose even more significantly, jumping 82 per cent to 9. 7 million. The track also recorded an increase in downloads, with sales rising by 13 per cent. Carey first recorded ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ in 1994, but the track has demonstrated a special longevity that has turned it into one of the most commercially reliable songs in modern music history. The title has surpassed its peers on the Holiday 100 and has now been named No. 1 on Billboard’s ‘Greatest of All Time Holiday 100 Songs’ list. Speaking about the song’s impact in 2021, Carey said she never expected it to become an enduring cultural staple. ‘I had absolutely no idea the impact the song would eventually have worldwide’, she said. ‘I’m so full of gratitude that so many people enjoy it with me every year.’ As the holiday charts re-emerge, Carey is preparing for Christmas-themed performances. The singer has released new rehearsal clips teasing shows at the Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas, beginning this season. In a rehearsal video shared to Instagram, Carey can be heard practising to the background of her long-running Christmas hit, accompanied by dancers and production crews preparing for what appears to be a high-cost festive stage design. Tickets for the Las Vegas event went on sale with the singer promoting the dates by writing, ‘Can’t wait for Christmastime in Vegas.’ Carey has also relaunched limited Christmas merchandise to align with the seasonal chart boost. This year’s collection includes festive apparel, holiday accessories and a new ‘It’s Time’ T-shirt. The singer highlighted the line’s availability by directing fans to Amazon. Alongside merchandise, Carey recently appeared in a Sephora advertisement centred on holiday shopping promotions. The video, which uses her Christmas music, features the singer announcing ‘It’s Time’ in the lead-up to festive retail season campaigns. New Album, New Era, Same Seasonal Success Outside of her Christmas catalogue, Carey has also released a new album titled Here For It All. In a statement posted to Instagram, she described the project as a culmination of different artistic styles, adding that it contains some of her most personal writing to date. In interview commentary shared by Apple Music, the title track was highlighted as a particularly meaningful song for the artist. Carey noted that she carefully positioned it as the album closer, saying that it has a soulful tone that reflects her own experiences while offering something ‘other people that need to hear something like that’. As Carey continues to diversify her tours, merchandise and partnerships, her annual chart dominance suggests that the holiday season has become a central pillar of her long-term career. While streaming platforms have changed how music is consumed, the singer’s iconic festive anthem appears to strengthen its reach with each passing year. For now, as the charts shift into their end-of-year cycle, Mariah Carey remains a reliable holiday mainstay, whose music continues to redefine commercial success both on and off the holiday season.

Intel might finally steal this feature from AMD chips

Leave a comment

Summary Intel developing bLLC: 144 MB L3 cache in Compute Tile to rival AMD’s 3D V-Cache. bLLC likely limited to unlocked SKUs (Core Ultra 400K), targeting gamers and overclockers. More L3 lets CPU access game data faster; also expect a stronger NPU on Nova Lake-S chips. Intel has so far chosen to avoid adding one key feature AMD has been using for years to increase the performance of its chips-a larger L3 cache, which actually results in a tangible performance increase in games. This might finally change soon. According to new reports surrounding Intel’s 2026 hardware lineup, the silicon giant is developing a proprietary technology dubbed “bLLC” (big Last Level Cache) designed to directly counter AMD’s stronghold on the high-performance gaming market. Intel is reportedly integrating a massive 144 MB Last Level Cache directly into the Compute Tile of its upcoming CPUs. Large cache pools have provided rival AMD with its amazing performance gains through their 3D V-Cache technology, and this would clearly be Intel’s attempt to match and beat that. As a reminder on why that works, in modern computing workloads-particularly in gaming-the speed at which a processor can access instructions and assets is often more critical than raw clock speed. By significantly expanding the L3 cache to (in this case) a reported 144 MB, the Nova Lake-S architecture allows the CPU to store a vast amount of critical data on-chip. When data is stored in the cache, the CPU can access it almost instantly. Conversely, if the data is too large for the cache, the processor must fetch it from the system memory (DRAM). More cache, more info the CPU can access quickly. It’s simple math. The report indicates that this new cache technology will not be available across the entire Nova Lake lineup. Instead, Intel plans to make bLLC exclusive to its “unlocked SKUs.” This points specifically to the Core Ultra 400K series-the flagship chips traditionally favored by overclockers and hardcore gamers. This would mimic in some ways AMD’s current strategy with its X3D chips, where it will release a non-X3D variant of a new chip with a new architecture and add 3D V-Cache after the fact with X3D variants. 3D V-Cache is not available on all chips, and neither will be bLLC Cache. The new processors are also expected to feature a significant upgrade to the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) compared to the current Arrow Lake generation. We’ll see these chips next years, and hopefully, these rumors have some weight to them.

Trinity Rodman focused on fight for NWSL title as departure rumors swirl

Leave a comment

SAN JOSE, Calif. Spirit star forward Trinity Rodman on Thursday did her best to shut down speculation regarding her NWSL future as she tries to remain laser focused on Saturday’s championship match against Gotham FC. Rodman reportedly has received several lucrative international offers from top European clubs, but she said “no decisions” have been made regarding her impending free agency. She said it hasn’t even crossed her mind that Saturday’s game potentially could be her last in the NWSL. “I’m not there at all,” Rodman said. “There could be conversations being had, but right now I am so excited to be representing the Spirit. I’m not even thinking of when my last game will be. But yeah, I just want to win it and we’ll see.” Rodman is at the center of what could be a pivotal moment in league history as the NWSL’s salary cap restraints could result in an exodus of star players leaving for better compensation elsewhere. The Athletic reported that DC Power, of the Gainbridge Super League, presented Rodman with a “significantly larger” contract than what the Spirit or NWSL can compete against under the current salary cap restrictions. NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman was peppered with salary cap-related questions during her hourlong press conference. She said the league’s salary cap had “almost quadrupled” over the past four seasons as the league’s popularity and revenue streams grew. But she didn’t seem to entertain the idea of softening the NWSL’s current hard cap, which was set at $3. 5 million per club this season. “It’s hard to say” whether the salary cap was an appropriate mechanism for the NWSL at this time, according to Rodman. “In women’s sports, there’s always this fight for equal pay, to get paid more for the work that we do,” Rodman said. “But again, I’m 23 years old. I’m not going to try to completely change the league and fix that. But at the same time, yeah, we’re always going to push and strive for more.” Still, Berman remains steadfast about keeping Rodman in the league. “We want Trinity in the NWSL, and we will fight for her,” Berman said. “And we are excited to see her compete in the championship on Saturday.” Rodman, 23, was flattered by Berman’s comments and has been happy since starting her professional career in the NWSL in 2021. “But at the same time, like, I don’t want to put that pressure on myself of because she said that now, I’m like, ‘Oh, shoot, I’m trapped,’ ” Rodman said. “Again, I’m focused on this weekend, and that’s really all I can focus on. And then moving forward, then that’s when I really have those conversations and tough calls that I need to have.” Berman signed a multi-year contract extension to keep her in charge of ushering the league into its next era of growth, the NWSL announced Thursday. Berman took over as NWSL commissioner in 2022 and under her watch the league has checked off many major milestones, including a new collective bargaining agreement, league expansion and skyrocketing club valuations. “Jessica’s leadership has been instrumental in transforming the NWSL into a global sports property,” Gotham FC owner and NWSL executive committee chair Carolyn Tisch Blodget said in a statement. “Her vision for sustainable growth, along with her ability to fuel enduring momentum, has positioned the league for long-term success.” Berman now is under contract through the 2028 season, the Equalizer reported.

M5 Vision Pro goes on sale in two more countries as gradual global rollout continues

Leave a comment

Like its predecessor, the M5 Vision Pro is currently only available in a limited number of countries. Apple just added two more to the roster as it opened pre-orders in Korea and Taiwan. Potential customers in both countries can also book Apple Store appointments from today for a personalized trial of the spatial computer . M5 Vision Pro Apple announced the updated model just over a month ago alongside a new iPad Pro and MacBook Pro, each with the same M5 chip. Additionally, the new model comes with a dual-knit band for a more comfortable fit. Upgraded to the M5 chip, Apple Vision Pro offers leapfrog performance, improved display rendering, faster AI-driven workflow, and longer battery life. The soft and cushioned dual knit band provides a more comfortable fit, and visionOS 26 provides an innovative spatial experience including widgets, new Persona, spatial scenes that embodidate amazing depth in photos and Safari, and the interactive environment ‘Juiter’. It went on sale in nine countries initially, with the company saying at the time that China and Singapore would follow. In our review, Chance Miller said that the dual-knit band was actually the most important change to the headset. Making it more comfortable to wear for longer periods as well as significantly easier to adjust. However, the M5 chip does also improve performance. It also increases battery life. In my five days with the Vision Pro (M5), I’ve had significantly more consistent performance across various workflows. In situations where the M2 Vision Pro would start to lag and stutter, the M5 Vision Pro keeps up. The fans still kick in, but overall performance is more sustainable and consistent, even as my windows began to pile up. The M5 chip is also how Apple is able to eke out more battery life from Vision Pro. It now touts up to two and a half hours of general use, and up to three hours of video playback. This is up from two hours of general use and two and a half hours of video playback. Pre-orders open in Korea and Taiwan Apple today announced that pre-orders for the M5 Vision Pro have opened in Korea and Taiwan, with delivery from Friday, November 28. This takes the total number of countries where Vision Pro is available to 13: Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, the UAE, UK, and US.

Bitcoin Price Drop Tests Strategy BTC Holdings, But Gains Persist

Leave a comment

TLDR Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings remain profitable despite Bitcoin’s recent price drop below $92,000. The company’s average purchase price for Bitcoin is significantly lower than the current market price, providing a cushion against volatility. Despite market fluctuations, Strategy continues to accumulate Bitcoin and dismisses the idea of selling during market stress. The CryptoQuant uPnL chart shows that Strategy’s holdings have remained in profit even after past market crashes. Prediction markets are pricing in a further Bitcoin price decline, but Strategy’s Bitcoin strategy remains unchanged. Bitcoin’s recent drop below $92,000 has raised concerns about the sustainability of Michael Saylor’s BTC holdings under the Strategy. Despite the price decline, a CryptoQuant chart shows that the Strategy’s holdings remain in profit, even after multiple market crashes. The company has maintained an aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, dismissing volatility as a temporary concern. However, recent developments are testing investor confidence. Strategy’s Bitcoin Holdings Remain Profitable Despite Market Decline CryptoQuant’s unrealized profit and loss (uPnL) chart, which tracks Strategy’s Bitcoin position since 2020, paints a positive picture. Despite Bitcoin’s recent price drop of over 13% in the past week, Strategy’s holdings still show substantial unrealized gains. The chart shows persistent green bars, indicating that the company’s Bitcoin bet remains profitable even through multiple market dips. During past crashes, such as in 2021 and 2022, there were brief periods of unrealized losses, marked by red zones on the chart. However, these losses were short-lived and quickly reversed. “The company’s average purchase price for Bitcoin is well below the current market price, giving them a significant cushion against volatility,” said an industry analyst. Even with the ongoing sell-off, Strategy continues to hold and accumulate Bitcoin. Michael Saylor has made it clear that his company will not sell its Bitcoin holdings, despite market fluctuations. “Bitcoin is an exponential treasury asset,” Saylor stated. He believes that, in the long run, Bitcoin will outperform other assets, including gold. Bitcoin’s Decline Raises Concerns Over Sell-Off Risks Bitcoin has fallen by more than 16% over the past six months, and recent price action is testing investors’ resolve. The current market downturn has heightened fears among traders. Recent events, including the movement of Bitcoin from the Mt. Gox wallet to Kraken, have sparked rumors of further sell-offs, adding to market uncertainty. The sell-off has contributed to increased volatility and growing concerns about Strategy’s balance sheet. While the company’s BTC holdings are still in profit, the broader market remains under pressure. Prediction markets are now pricing in the possibility of Bitcoin dropping below $80,000, with odds increasing to 38%.

ASTER News: Whale Increases Bet with $1M USDC Ahead of ASTER Stage 4 Airdrop

Leave a comment

A key whale just deposited $1 million USDC, significantly boosting its STER position just before the massive Stage 4 airdrop. A significant cryptocurrency investor recently amplified their faith in the STER token. This action was to take place just hours before the much-anticipated Stage 4 airdrop event. According to Lookonchain data, the deposit was for a large amount of $1 million in USD Coin (USDC). This strategic move has immediately attracted the attention of the entire market. Whale’s Strategic Investment Signals Bullish Sentiment The deposit considerably increased the current long position of the whale. Their total is currently 2. 3 million dollars aster tokens. This entire holding is currently valued at about $2. 86 million. As a result, in just 24 hours, the token has experienced an almost eight percent increase in price. This momentum has quickly catapulted the DEX’s total trading volume to be close to $2 billion. The blockchain monitor Lookonchain confirmed this important transaction online. Indeed, on November 17, they clearly revealed that wallet 0x6834 had made a very large deposit. This particular whale has already maintained a strong long position for 38 days in a row. Furthermore, the current position makes use of 2x leverage for increased overall stakes.

Therefore, it implies calculated accumulation or being bold in taking risks. This happens amidst the current generalising crypto-bear environment. The amount of leverage used leaves a liquidation price of $1. 45. However, this still leaves enough breathing room in a volatile trading market. The decentralized perpetual exchange, Aster, is currently gearing up for its major airdrop. This Stage 4 event is referred to as the Harvest distribution. In addition, the platform is holding a gigantic $10 million trading competition. This large-scale competition will be running alongside the airdrop rewards scheduled to be implemented. The airdrop itself contains a reward pool of 1. 5% of the total supply of tokens. This pool is close to 120 million STER tokens in total. Specifically, this is a rather large reward that will be distributed across six distinct weekly epochs. The “Double Harvest” competition included for this is a set of 5 weekly leaderboards for trading. ASTER Token Continues to Draw Major Investor Interest The latest whale activity follows a history of very significant investments. For example, in October, a single large whale purchased $5M worth of ASTER tokens. Another official report from November 10 revealed whales added some 4. 93 million tokens in total. This earlier acquisition had a value of $5. 52 million at the time of purchase. Earlier in September, another large player made an enormous $74. 58 million purchase. Clearly, there is a lot of speculation about future price surges based on these frequent and visible transactions. The performance of the token has been strong and has successfully portrayed this sustained confidence among the big investors. The STER token is also notable for breaking a new all-time high record of $2. 12 in late September. This important high followed a period in which it was able to outperform its competitor, Hyperliquid, in total revenue. Moreover, one of the most important Binance listing announcements in October also helped to further boost the token’s market price. Management also recently postponed some scheduled unlocks of tokens. These future distributions are now officially between 2026-2035. Consequently, the move was successful to help curb immediate sell pressure on the wider market. The announcement contributed directly to a striking ten percent increase in the existing price.

Rams-49ers: 5 plays that decided the outcome

Leave a comment

The Los Angeles Rams left nothing to chance this time around when they faced off against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. The Rams (7-2) demolished the 49ers (6-4) behind another Matthew Stafford gem and a physical defensive effort. Rams legend perfectly summed it up in his postgame tweet.

LA stormed out to a 21-0 lead in the first half before San Francisco “tried” to make a comeback bid in the early second half. It wasn’t nearly enough, with the Rams making significantly more plays on both offense and defense to avenge their Week 5 loss against their rival.

But which plays sealed the deal? Here are the five game-defining moments from Los Angeles’s Week 10 win:

### 1. Nate Landman Forced Fumble (Rams 14, 49ers 0) — 3:24 left in 1st Quarter

The Rams jumped on the 49ers early, mirroring how San Francisco started against LAR in Week 5. Only this time, when the 49ers tried to throw their own counterpunch, the Rams delivered an uppercut of their own.

On 2nd & 10 at the LAR 39-yard line, Mac Jones threw a short pass to Jaquan Jennings, who picked up the first down. But Nate Landman, as he typically does, came in for a swarming tackle, using his right arm to dislodge the ball from Jennings. Kam Kinchens scooped up the loose ball and returned it to the LAR 41.

It was a huge momentum swing that allowed LA to keep their foot on the gas.

### 2. Byron Young Stops Christian McCaffrey on 4th Down (Rams 21, 49ers 0) — 8:45 left in 2nd Quarter

Byron Young stepped up with a crucial defensive stop on 4th down to keep the 49ers off the scoreboard early, maintaining the Rams’ dominant lead.

### 3. 4th & 3 Conversion from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua (Rams 21, 49ers 14) — 6:20 left in 3rd Quarter

To open the second half, San Francisco drove downfield and scored, narrowing the gap to a one-score game. Los Angeles responded with a critical drive but faced resistance after crossing the SF 30.

After failing to connect with Kyren Williams in the flat on 3rd & 3, head coach Sean McVay decided to go for it on 4th & 3 at San Francisco’s 28-yard line. Rather than risking a field goal or punting, McVay put the ball in the hands of his best players: Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua.

The duo didn’t disappoint, converting the crucial fourth down and keeping the drive alive.

### 4. Davante Adams Red Zone Touchdown (Rams 28, 49ers 14) — 2:39 left in 3rd Quarter

The Rams have clearly found the solution to their early-season red zone struggles. Stafford and Adams connected for the sixth time in just a three-game span.

When the Rams needed to ensure they were putting their division rivals away, they turned to their leading touchdown playmaker. Adams hauled in a touchdown pass that extended LA’s lead and shifted the momentum firmly in their favor.

### 5. Emmanuel Forbes Hauls in Interception (Rams 35, 49ers 20) — 8:29 left in 4th Quarter

Every time San Francisco tried to counterpunch Los Angeles, the Rams defense was ready.

On 4th & 4 at the SF 41-yard line, Mac Jones targeted George Kittle for the first down. But Emmanuel Forbes timed his jump perfectly, deflecting the pass and hauling in the batted ball for only the second interception of his Rams career.

Even special teams contributed some positive plays throughout the game, rounding out a complete team effort.
