After winning the NFC West in each of the last two seasons, the Los Angeles Rams not only failed to make it three straight division titles, but they won’t even be returning to the playoffs. They were officially eliminated from contention on Saturday night at Levi’s Stadium, losing 34-31 to the 49ers.
It was as heartbreaking as a loss can come, allowing the 49ers to convert on third-and-16 twice on the final drive before Robbie Gould drilled a 33-yard field goal to win it.
The biggest play of the game was a blown coverage by Jalen Ramsey and Taylor Rapp, which resulted in a 46-yard gain by Emmanuel Sanders to set up the winning kick. Here’s how Twitter reacted to the loss and the huge play by Sanders.
