INGLEWOOD (AP) — Rookie Joshua Karty hit a 37-yard field goal with two seconds left, and the Los Angeles Rams staged a spectacular late comeback to beat the San Francisco 49ers 27-24 on Sunday.
Kyren Williams ran 4 yards for his third touchdown of the day with 1:50 left for the Rams (1-2), who rallied from a 14-point deficit after halftime for their second straight win over San Francisco (1-2) after losing 10 of the previous 12 meetings against the NFC West archrivals.
Jaun Jennings had career-highs with 11 receptions for 175 yards and three touchdowns for the 49ers, who blew a lead of at least 14 points for the first time since 2018.
Brock Purdy threw for 292 yards, but the defending NFC champions and Super Bowl favorites suffered their second straight road loss after falling at Minnesota last week.
Los Angeles trailed 24-14 midway through the fourth quarter, but Jake Moody missed a 55-yard field goal attempt for San Francisco with 2:43 left.
A 25-yard pass interference penalty against linebacker De’Vondre Campbell put the Rams in field goal range, and their rookie kicker made the kick.
