Tonight on the NFL Network, the season premiere of “The Timeline” will take an in-depth look at the turn-of-the-millennium “Greatest Show on Turf” Rams, who revolutionized what offensive firepower looked like in the NFL.

So it’s only fitting that in the Thursday Night Football game leading into the airing of the documentary, the Rams would put together an offensive performance that rivaled their legendary predecessors.

In what is now the highest-scoring game in the long history of the Rams vs. 49ers rivalry, the visiting team won, 41-39. Led by a nearly perfect Jared Goff and Todd Gurley, the offense put up 40+ points for the second time in three games. The last time they had two 40-point games in a season was 2006.

The Rams have scored 107 points through their first three games, second most in the history of the franchise. Only the 2000 GSOT Rams, led by Hall of Famers Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk, had more (119). And as crazy as it might sound, those two players are exactly who Goff and Gurley resembled tonight.

Goff finished the win with 292 yards, three touchdowns and a 145.8 passer rating — the second-highest of any quarterback in 2017. And Gurley scored three touchdowns in the first half, finishing with 113 yards rushing and 38 yards receiving.

It’s still early, and there’s a lot of football to be played, but right now the Sean McVay era of the Rams offense hasn’t just bounced back from a historically bad 2016. It’s shaping up to be one of the best the franchise has ever seen.
