The Los Angeles Rams secured a narrow victory over the San Francisco 49ers in a game marked by a lack of touchdowns, a first in their long rivalry. Despite opportunities, the 49ers failed to score a touchdown through three quarters, with a critical drop by Deebo Samuel impacting their chances.

As the Rams took a 9-6 lead with a field goal, the 49ers' playoff hopes dwindled significantly. With a crucial interception thrown by Brock Purdy, the Rams capitalized on the mistake, sealing the game with another field goal, leaving San Francisco at 6-8 and questioning their Super Bowl aspirations.
