SANTA CLARA, Calif. – It took every made field goal from kicker Josh Karty and a timely fourth-quarter interception from cornerback Darious Williams, but it was enough for the Rams (8-6) to claim a 12-6 victory 49ers (6-8) at Levi’s Stadium on a rainy Thursday Night Football.

Karty made all four of his field goal attempts (48, 23, 27 and 29 yards) to score all of Los Angeles’ points. Williams gave them additional security by throwing an interception with 5:20 left in the fourth quarter, leading to a possession that reduced the remaining time to just 19 seconds.

Still, San Francisco got one last gasp at midfield as cornerback Charles Woods received a penalty on cornerback Charles Woods. However, Rams linebacker Christian Rozeboom sacked 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy on the final play of the game to secure the win.

Running back Kyren Williams was also instrumental in the big NFC West win, passing for over 100 yards for the second time in his last three games. He had 29 runs for 108 in the win.

What’s notable is that the Rams won the possession battle 35:04 and the 49ers won 24:56

Here is the full game summary, presented by UNIFY:

Both teams traded early three-and-outs before the 49ers opened the game with a 33-yard completion from Purdy to Kittle on their second series. Still, San Francisco had to settle for a 53-yard field goal from kicker Jake Moody at the end of the second drive to take an early 3-0 lead.

Intermittent rain largely prevented any progress for the rest of the first half, but Los Angeles managed a 48-yard field goal from Karty to tie the game at 3-3 with 1:05 left until halftime. The Rams completed 30 plays for 89 net yards and struck out five times in the first half; the 49ers 31 for 108 with six.

Midway through the third quarter, the 49ers regained the lead 6-3 on a 47-yard field goal from Moody.

On the ensuing possession, the Rams went 4th-and-1 from the 49ers 37 to win, converting on a QB sneak by Stafford. As that drive continued, the 17-play, 65-yard drive that extended into the fourth quarter and erased nearly 10 minutes of game time ended with a 23-yard field goal by Karty, tying the game at 6 early in the fourth quarter :6 ended after the drive stalled at the 49ers’ 4-yard line.

After an offensive pass interference penalty stalled the 49ers on the ensuing series and forced them to punt, the Rams took advantage of a 51-yard completion from Stafford to Nacua, moving them to the 49ers’ 16-yard line. However, the drive stalled at the 49ers 8 and the Rams had to settle for a 27-yard field goal from Karty to take a 9-6 lead with 9:28 left in the fourth quarter.

Los Angeles made a big breakthrough on its next drive when cornerback Darious Williams intercepted San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy’s deep pass down the right sideline intended for wide receiver Jauan Jennings and regained possession with 5:14 remaining.

In the following series, Los Angeles reduced the remaining time to 18 seconds. At that point, Karty kicked a 29-yard field goal, putting the Rams up 12-6 with that time remaining.

Rozeboom’s sack on second down – after Purdy’s incomplete pass on first down – was placed at midfield due to the horse collar penalty on the ensuing kickoff, securing the win.
