What happened: Next Gen Stats counted 11 pass-blocking matchups between Williams and Garrett, all one-on-one, according to Nick Wagoner. Garrett was making his Rams debut after featuring opposite Williams among PFF's leading Week 1 matchups.

Why it matters: San Francisco won the NFL's first regular-season game in Australia. Williams' individual protection performance offers an early measure of the matchup against Los Angeles' new pass rusher.

By the numbers: Garrett generated pressure on 9.1% of those individual matchups; 90.9% ended without a pressure charged against Williams.

What to watch: Watch whether Williams sustains that pressure rate over a larger sample this season.
