Short-Handed 49ers Top Rams in OT on Mac Jones Surge and Goal-Line Strip

San Francisco's depth delivered to lift the club into first place in the NFC West.

Overview

  • Mac Jones started for the injured Brock Purdy and threw for 342 yards and two touchdowns, then led the overtime drive in a 26-23 win.
  • Rookie Alfred Collins forced and recovered a goal-line fumble in the final minutes of regulation, preserving a tie and setting up overtime.
  • Sean McVay went for it on fourth-and-1 at the 49ers’ 11 in overtime with a run that was stopped, and he later took blame for the call.
  • Kicker Eddy Piñeiro hit four field goals, including a 59-yarder late in the fourth quarter and the 41-yard game-winner in overtime.
  • Kendrick Bourne posted a career-best 10 receptions for 142 yards as the injury-hit 49ers lost DL Kalia Davis (broken hand) and Yetur Gross-Matos (hamstring), with Purdy still listed week to week.
