"Thursday night's 26-23 overtime thriller came down to the final play: a fourth-down tackle for no gain by the 49ers' no-Bosa, no-interceptions defense against the Big Boy Rams to reward another bipartisan crowd. The 49ers flipped their L.A. script. They indeed blew a fourth-quarter lead, just as they did in the 2021 season's NFC Championship Game and more recently in last season's Week 3 visit. This time, they won when they weren't expected to ever lead with a shorthanded cast."
"If I thought about it more on the sideline, yes there probably would have been some deja vu, Juszczyk said. But to be totally honest, I didn't let that creep into my mind. We were so focused on taking control of what we could control. He opened overtime with a 12-yard reception from Mac Jones, and away the 49ers went toward what Juszczyk appropriately dubbed a wild, wild but fun win."
At SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, the 49ers defeated the Rams 26-23 in overtime. The game concluded on a fourth-and-1 at the 49ers' 11-yard line when Kyren Williams was tackled for no gain, preserving the win. Kyle Juszczyk made a 12-yard reception to open overtime, contributing to the eventual field-goal lead. The 49ers overcame a blown fourth-quarter lead and a shorthanded roster to prevail. The defense, described with 'no-Bosa, no-interceptions' characteristics, produced a decisive goal-line stand. The team emphasized competitive stamina and focus on each play throughout the extended contest.
