Rams Lose 26-23 OT to 49ers After Errors

The Los Angeles Rams fell 26-23 in overtime to the San Francisco 49ers after a late goal-line fumble in regulation and a failed fourth-and-one in OT, dropping L.A. to 3-2. Matthew Stafford engineered late comebacks, finished with 389 yards and three touchdowns, and called the loss frustrating as missed opportunities again decided the game. Head coach Sean McVay said he felt "sick" about the decision to go for it on fourth-and-one. Special-teams breakdowns — including a missed long field goal, a blocked extra point and a weak overtime kickoff — plus early defensive lapses also contributed to the defeat. The 49ers were injury-depleted, with Mac Jones starting for Brock Purdy, and the Rams now head to a crucial Week 6 matchup at Baltimore needing to right the ship quickly.
