"The Rams went for it on fourth-and-1 from the 11-yard line. Kyren Williams, who fumbled at the 1 with a minute to go in regulation, got stuffed for no gain, with defensive backs Deommodore Lenoir and Marques Sigle credited for the game-saving stop. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh sprinted onto the field, players joyously scattered to celebrate, and the 49ers had emerged with a 26-23 triumph."
"In the end, their winning points came from Eddie Pineiro, who made a 41-yard field goal on overtime's opening possession, his fourth field goal in as many attempts this game. Earlier, he had a career-long 59-yarder to put the 49ers ahead with 2:52 remaining. That overtime-opening drive began with Mac Jones delivering six consecutive completions, to Kyle Juszczyk (12 yards), Christian McCaffrey (15 and 7 yards) and Jake Tonges (6 yards, twice)."
"It was a huge character win, coach Kyle Shanahan said. It's been a good start for us. What a way for the injury-laden 49ers, 8 1/2-point underdogs, to rebound from Sunday's loss to Jacksonville and improve to 4-1 overall. They're also 3-0 in divisional play, with a win now over each NFC West rival. The Rams fell to 3-2 by virtue of losing their first divisional game of the season."
San Francisco rallied to a 26-23 overtime victory after a goal-line stop on fourth-and-1 that ended the Rams' drive. Eddie Pineiro provided the decisive points with a 41-yard overtime field goal and earlier drilled a career-long 59-yarder late in regulation. The 49ers surged to a 14-0 start and led 20-7 in the third quarter but faced volatility before prevailing. Mac Jones completed six straight passes to open the overtime drive. The win improved the 49ers to 4-1 overall and 3-0 in NFC West play amid injuries and an early stretch of road games.
