NFL Results Week 14: 49ers end 3-game losing streak, Seahawks maintain NFC West lead

Posted on by Amelia Pressman

Three of the four NFC West teams won in Week 14, with one of them losing a head-to-head matchup.

The San Francisco 49ers ended a three-game losing streak with a 38-13 win over the Chicago Bears. Brock Purdy threw for 325 yards (on 20-for-25 passing) and two touchdowns, both to Jauan Jennings. Jennings had 90 yards on seven catches. George Kittle caught six passes for 151 yards. Isaac Guerendo totaled 128 yards of offense with two scores.

With a 30:18 win against the Arizona Cardinals, the Seattle Seahawks maintained their first place in the NFC West. Seattle turned two Kyler Murray interceptions into touchdowns, plunging the Cardinals into a deep hole they couldn’t overcome.

Geno Smith threw for 233 yards and a TD and completed 24 of 30 passes. Zach Charbonnet rushed for 134 yards and two scores on 22 carries. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had five receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown.

And in the game of the day – arguably the best of the season – the Los Angeles Rams held off a furious comeback from the Buffalo Bills and won 44:42. Matthew Stafford completed 23 of 30 passes for 320 yards and 2 touchdowns. Puka Nacua had 12 catches for 162 yards and a score. Cooper Kupp added 95 yards and a TD on five catches. And Kyren Williams ran for 87 yards on 29 carries.

Josh Allen scored six touchdowns for Buffalo, becoming the first NFL player to score three points and score another three.

At 8-5, Seattle leads the NFC West by one game over the Rams (7-6). The Cardinals and 49ers are in last place in the division at 6-7.

(Bye: Broncos, Colts, Commanders, Patriots, Ravens, Texans)

  • FINAL: Rams 44, Bills 42

    The Rams survive a fierce comeback from the Bills and earn a 44-42 victory.

    Josh Allen threw three touchdowns and rushed for another three. He passed for 342 yards and completed 22 of 37 throws. He also ran for 82 yards on ten carries.

    Khalil Shakir had five receptions for 106 yards and a TD. Allen’s other scoring passes went to Mack Hollins and Ty Johnson. Amari Cooper added six receptions for 95 yards.

    For Los Angeles, Matthew Stafford completed 23 of 30 passes for 320 yards and 2 touchdowns. Puka Nacua had 12 catches for 162 yards and a score. Cooper Kupp added 95 yards and a TD on five catches. Kyren Williams rushed for 87 yards on 29 carries.

  • The Bills onside kick attempt fails

    Ronnie Rivers recovers the Bills’ onside kick and that probably gives the Rams the win with 59 seconds left.

  • 6 touchdowns for Josh Allen

    Josh Allen scores his third rushing touchdown – and his sixth touchdown – of the day, cutting the Rams’ lead to 44-42 (with the extra point) with a minute left in regulation.

    Buffalo will attempt an onside kick.

  • Bills are heading towards TD

    A pass interference penalty against Quentin Lake costs the Rams 34 yards and puts the Bills at the LA 16-yard line.

    Two plays later, Darious Williams was cited for pass interference on Amari Cooper, putting the ball on the 1-yard line.

  • FINAL: 49ers 38, Bears 13

    After a miserable first half, Chicago showed some life in the second half against the 49ers. However, in a 38:13 defeat it wasn’t nearly enough.

    Brock Purdy threw for 325 yards (on 20-for-25 passing) and two touchdowns, both to Jauan Jennings. Jennings had 90 yards on seven catches. George Kittle caught six passes for 151 yards. Isaac Guerendo totaled 128 yards of offense with two scores.

    For the Bears, Caleb Williams threw for 134 yards and two scores, completing 17 of 23 passes. Both TD throws went to Rome Odunze, who had four receptions for 42 yards. D’Andre Swift rushed for 38 yards on 14 carries.

  • Puka Nacua with the dagger

    Buffalo brought the Rams to a 3rd-and-5 at the 19-yard line. A forced fourth down likely would have resulted in a field goal and a six-point deficit with just under two minutes left.

    However, the Rams likely put the game out of reach with a 19-yard pass from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua.

    Joshua Karty missed the extra point, but the Bills are still two points behind.

  • FINAL: Seahawks 30, Cardinals 18

    Arizona couldn’t overcome early mistakes against the Seahawks and dug itself into a hole too deep to overcome.

    Geno Smith threw for 233 yards and a TD and completed 24 of 30 passes. Zach Charbonnet rushed for 134 yards and two scores on 22 carries. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had five receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown.

    Kyler Murray threw two picks with his two touchdowns and completed 259 yards on 25 of 38 passes. James Conner ran for 90 yards on 18 carries. And Trey McBride caught seven passes for 70 yards.

  • Another look at Josh Allen’s TD throw

    Here’s another look at the pinpoint throw Josh Allen made to Mack Hollins for a touchdown.

  • 3-point game in LA!

    If the Bills go down, they will go down swinging. Josh Allen hits Mack Hollins with a perfectly thrown ball for a 21-yard score, capping a punishing 10-play, 91-yard drive.

  • Brock Purdy suffers a serious blow

    Brock Purdy briefly left the game after a nasty looking high-low hit. Brandon Allen took over briefly, but Purdy is back.

  • Rome Odunze catches his 2nd touchdown

    Rome Odunze joins the 2-TD club in Week 14. His 14-yard grab helps the Bears cut the 49ers’ lead to 31-13.

    The Bears are now approaching 100 yards passing for the game.

  • Bills cut deficit to 38-28

    It looks like a shootout at SoFi Stadium, with the Bills going 70 yards in five plays to cut the Rams’ lead to 38-28.

    Josh Allen scores on a 1-yard run, his second rushing score of the day.

    Allen had a 20-yard run to start the drive, along with a 34-yard completion to Khalil Shakir.

  • Isaac Guerendo scores the 2nd touchdown for the 49ers

    Isaac Guerendo joined Jauan Jennings with two touchdowns today, scoring his second on a 4-yard run.

    San Francisco recovered a Bears fumble and went 62 yards in five plays (highlighted by a 39-yard catch by Jennings) to take a 31-6 lead.

  • Rams take a 38:21 lead over Bills

    Puka Nacua created most of the highlights for the Rams today. But Cooper Kupp announced his presence with an 18-yard TD catch.

    Matthew Stafford threw for 247 yards, giving the Rams a 38-21 lead over Buffalo.

  • Khalil Shakir goes 51 yards for the Buffalo touchdown

    Khalil Shakir scores on a 51-yard catch-and-run for the Bills, cutting the Rams’ lead to 31-21 (after an extra point kick) with 3:54 remaining in the third quarter.

  • The Cardinals are at it again

    Is this considered a shovel pass or an underhand throw? Kyler Murray hits to James Conner for a 2-yard touchdown.

    Murray also executes a 2-point conversion to cut Seattle’s lead to 27-18.

  • Rams extend lead over Bills

    Although Demarcus Robinson’s 56-yard reception was negated by a penalty, the Rams capped an 11-play drive with a 7-yard TD run by Kyren Williams.

    LA extends its lead over the Bills to 31-14.

  • Bears on the board

    Rome Odunze lands with both feet in the back of the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown. After a 16-play, 70-yard drive, Chicago is finally on the scoreboard.

    However, the Bears missed the 2-point conversion and were left with 6 points.

  • Demarcus Robinson’s 56-yard catch was wiped out by a penalty

    Matthew Stafford hit Demarcus Robinson for a 56-yard pass on the Rams’ first drive of the second half.

    Unfortunately for the Rams, the catch was negated by the Bills’ pass interference penalties on Robinson and Demar Hamlin.

  • George Kittle’s big first half

    George Kittle had a great first half for the 49ers with five receptions (on five targets) for 138 yards against the Bears.
