Eddy Pineiro’s overtime field goal earned the San Francisco 49ers a dramatic 26-23 win over the Los Angeles Rams at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.<\/p>\n
Pineiro’s 41-yard score – his fourth of the game – went over via the inside of the left post with less than six minutes remaining.<\/p>\n
Deommodore Lenoir and Marques Sigle then combined to deny Rams running back Kyren Williams on the fourth down as the hosts pushed for a late game-levelling score.<\/p>\n
Rams had earlier forced overtime thanks to a 48-yard field goal from kicker Joshua Karty with two seconds left in regulation.<\/p>\n
It was a battling win for the 49ers, who were without a host of players through injury, including quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receivers Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall.<\/p>\n
Purdy’s replacement, Mac Jones, overcame a knee injury and arm and leg cramps, completing 33 of 49 passes for 342 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n
“It came down to who was going to be the toughest team, and I think it was us,” Jones said.<\/p>\n
The 49ers, who suffered their first defeat of the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, improve to 4-1 and sit top of of the NFC West.<\/p>\n
“I can’t say enough about the guys, they were unbelievable,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. <\/p>\n
“That was a huge character win.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eddy Pineiro’s overtime field goal earned the San Francisco 49ers a dramatic 26-23 win over the Los Angeles…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":186839,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":["post-186838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=186838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186838\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/186839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=186838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=186838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
