Rams’ Sean McVay reacts to dramatic win over 49ers in two words

The Los Angeles Rams defeated the San Francisco 49ers in a landslide on Sunday night.

With 55 seconds left in the game, Xavier Smith returned a 49ers punt 38 yards to midfield. Matthew Stafford then threw an incomplete pass to Colby Parkinson, but three flags were thrown on the play, including a defensive pass interference penalty.

It moved the ball from midfield to the 49ers’ 25-yard line. Rams running back Kyren Williams rushed another six yards to set up a go-ahead field goal by Joshua Karty.

Los Angeles won the game 27-24.

Rams head coach Sean McVay entered the press room with reporters and had two words to say about what happened in the final minute of the game.

“Holy s—,” he said.

“… What a performance by our group. Just keep fighting, keep fighting,” McVay continued. “There’s a lot of grit in this group. There’s a lot of resilience in this group. And it’s just one game, but I’m really proud of them.”

Los Angeles scored 13 points in the fourth quarter to pull off an epic victory, surviving a stellar performance from quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receiver Jauan Jennings as they played without stars Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel.

Purdy was 22-of-30 with three touchdown passes and 292 passing yards. Jennings had 11 catches for 175 yards and caught each of Purdy’s touchdown passes. Jennings has only two touchdown catches in the last two seasons.

Stafford, the Super Bowl champion veteran, showed his tenacity. He had 221 passing yards and two touchdown passes. Williams also had two rushing touchdowns.
