The Los Angeles Rams’ offense carried the defense to a win in Week 14, but the defense returned the favor on Thursday night. The special teams unit chipped in, too, providing the only points for the team against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Rams won a close one, 12-6, in a game that featured six field goals and no touchdowns. It wasn’t the way they expected the game to go, but the defense did its job and held San Francisco to its second-fewest yards ever under Kyle Shanahan.
While the 49ers were talking about a player quitting after the game, Sean McVay was talking to his guys about a huge win led by the defense. The Rams coach handed out three game balls to a trio of deserving candidates: Joshua Karty, Kobie Turner and Darious Williams.
Karty went 4-for-4 on field goals, Turner had two sacks and Williams’ interception helped seal the win for Los Angeles.
