"The script is familiar. Fourth quarter or overtime. Rams trail or are tied. On comes Matthew Stafford. The veteran quarterback is the master of comebacks. And he appeared to be on the verge of doing it again on Thursday night against the rival San Francisco 49ers. But the 49ers stopped running back Kyren Williams on a fourth-and-one play at the 49ers' 11-yard line,"
"Rams kicker Joshua Karty, who last year beat the 49ers with a winning field goal at SoFi Stadium, missed a long field-goal attempt and had an extra-point attempt blocked, the second time that has happened this season. His kickoff in overtime did not reach the landing zone, giving the 49ers the ball at the 40-yard line. The 49ers improved to 4-1, including victories over the Rams, Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals in the NFC West."
The Rams lost 26-23 in overtime to the San Francisco 49ers at SoFi Stadium before 73,652 fans. San Francisco stopped Kyren Williams on fourth-and-one at the 11-yard line to end the game. Sean McVay called the play a bad decision and accepted responsibility. Matthew Stafford threw three touchdown passes, two to Williams and one to Puka Nacua. Kicking miscues hampered the Rams: Joshua Karty missed a long field-goal attempt, had an extra-point blocked and produced a short overtime kickoff that gave the 49ers the ball at the 40. The loss dropped the Rams to 3-2 while the 49ers improved to 4-1.
