Overview
- With 3:41 left in overtime, Los Angeles faced fourth-and-1 at the 49ers' 11 and chose a Kyren Williams run that was stopped instead of attempting a short tying field goal.
- Sean McVay labeled the play a "bad call," said a kick "wasn't even a thought" in the moment, and later acknowledged he wished he had taken the points.
- The Rams undercut their comeback with self-inflicted mistakes, including Williams’ goal-line fumble, a Blake Corum turnover, a missed field goal, a blocked extra point, and five penalties.
- Matthew Stafford threw for 389 yards and three touchdowns and backed the aggressive approach, saying he was not playing for a tie.
- Mac Jones started for the injured Brock Purdy and passed for 342 yards and two touchdowns as San Francisco moved to 4-1 and the Rams fell to 3-2.
