There's no question the San Francisco 49ers earned their 26-23 overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football in Week 5.
Yet Rams head coach Sean McVay might have made it a little easier for his counterpart, head coach Kyle Shanahan.
On the final play of the game and trailing by three, LA's offense was at the Niners' 11-yard line and facing a 4th-and-1 with 3:41 left in the extra frame. It was a "gimmie" field goal from that range, and while San Francisco would have had a shot to march down the field in response and secure a game-winning score of its own, the fact quarterback Mac Jones was banged up in the second half would have made that a much more difficult proposition.
