The Los Angeles Rams did not lead their game on Sunday at SoFi until two seconds remained. Joshua Karty changed that with a 37-yard field goal that gave the Rams a 27-24 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

The kick capped a comeback that saw the Rams score 13 points in the last 6:15. A Kyren Williams touchdown was sandwiched by two Karty field goals in the rally.
The play that set up the winning kick was a 38-yard punt return by Xavier Smith, who was in his first NFL game.

Both teams are 1-2 and each came into the game with major injuries. The Rams pulled a fake punt that changed momentum in the game.
The 49ers took the kickoff after the game-winning field goal and went into helter-skelter return that made things interesting.
