McVay Accepts Blame After Rams' OT Loss

The Los Angeles Rams lost 26-23 in overtime to the San Francisco 49ers at SoFi Stadium after coach Sean McVay called a fourth-and-1 run from the 11-yard line that failed. McVay took full responsibility, calling it “a bad call,” saying he wished he had sent out the kicking unit to tie the game and that he felt “sick” for putting his players in that spot. Kyren Williams — who had helped fuel the comeback — was stopped at the goal line and the ball was ruled a fumble (one account says it was punched out), ending the Rams’ chance to win. Joshua Karty tied the game in regulation with a 48-yard field goal and San Francisco’s Eddy Piñeiro hit a 41-yard field goal in overtime for the win. With Brock Purdy sidelined, Mac Jones started for the 49ers and threw for 342 yards and two touchdowns; the Rams committed turnovers and penalties, fell to 3-2, and said they will address the mistakes ahead of a Week 6 trip to Baltimore.
