Mac Jones Leads Short-Handed 49ers to 26-23 OT Win Over Rams

His 342-yard, two-touchdown night powered an injury-hit San Francisco to first place in the NFC West.

Overview

  • Jones started for injured Brock Purdy (toe) and guided the winning OT drive as San Francisco moved to 4-1; Purdy remains week to week.
  • Rookie Alfred Collins forced and recovered Kyren Williams’ goal-line fumble with 1:05 left in regulation to prevent a go-ahead score.
  • Eddy Piñeiro made four field goals, drilling a 59-yarder late in the fourth quarter and the 41-yard winner in overtime.
  • Kendrick Bourne delivered a career-best 10 receptions for 142 yards as the 49ers played without their top three wideouts and George Kittle.
  • Matthew Stafford threw for 389 yards and three touchdowns for Los Angeles, and Sean McVay accepted blame for the fourth-and-1 run call in overtime that was stuffed.
