The San Francisco 49ers have earned a playoff spot in the NFC. And they had to work overtime to get it.
The Niners trailed 17-0 before rallying to take a 27-24 lead in the extra period Sunday at SoFi Stadium on a Robbie Gould field goal.
The Los Angeles Rams, who won the NFC West by virtue of the Arizona Cardinals’ loss to Seattle, had a chance to tie the game with a field goal or win it with a touchdown.
Matthew Stafford looked for Odell Beckham Jr. deep down the sidelines but the pass was underthrown and DB Ambry Thomas make a great interception to end the game.
Thomas was a third-round pick, 102nd overall, out of Michigan in 2021.
The San Francisco 49ers will be on the road for an NFC Wild-Card game against the Dallas Cowboys.
