49ers vs. Rams game summary

The 49ers and the Rams played out a thrilling game that showed the ability of both coaches to call a great offensive game. But there will be questions about Kyle Shanahan's game management after the 49ers lost in the fourth quarter to the Rams, especially following San Francisco's overtime loss in last year's Super Bowl.

In the first quarter, the 49ers started well with Brock Purdy throwing two touchdown passes to Jauan Jennings in their first two drives. The Rams were kept scoreless as they had consecutive punts.

In the second quarter, Los Angeles found a bit more of their groove and had their first touchdown. They had a chance toward the end of the second quarter to go on another drive after a recovered fumble but failed to do so. The teams went into the break with San Francisco leading 14-7.

The third quarter showcased that there was not much between the teams. Jauan Jennings scored his third touchdown to give the 49ers a 21-7 lead, but the Rams came right back in the next play to cut the score to 21-14.

A pair of field goals from each team made the score 24-17, but then kicker Jake Moody missed an attempt. Just like his missed extra point in last season's Super Bowl loss proved pivotal, it was to be a turning point.

Because in the very next drive, Los Angeles scored a touchdown to tie the scores at 24-24. Another punt by San Francisco on their next drive allowed the Rams to go and score a field goal within the two-minute warning. With seconds left in the game, the 49ers could not recover to either win outright or force overtime.

The Rams and 49ers are now both 1-2 but the mood in both camps will be palpably different.
