Rams Lose to 49ers in OT After Goal-Line Fumble as Williams, McVay Accept Blame

The running back now leads all peers in lost fumbles since 2023, sharpening scrutiny on late-game execution.

Overview

  • With 1:07 left in regulation on first-and-goal from the 3, Alfred Collins punched the ball from Kyren Williams to deny a likely Rams touchdown.
  • Los Angeles forced a stop and Matthew Stafford led a drive capped by Joshua Karty’s 48-yard field goal to tie the game with seconds remaining.
  • In overtime, Williams was stopped on fourth-and-1 at the San Francisco 11, ending the game 26-23 in the 49ers’ favor.
  • Sean McVay called the overtime fourth-down decision a poor choice, while Williams said to put the loss on him and vowed to fix his ball security.
  • Since 2023, Williams has a league-high seven lost fumbles among running backs, and the defeat drops the Rams to 3-2.
