The 49ers defeated the Rams 26-23 in overtime behind a terrific performance from Mac Jones, another workmanlike effort from Christian McCaffrey, a career night from Kendrick Bourne and several clutch red zone plays from their defense.

When the Rams failed in a fourth-and-1 situation at the end of Thursday night's game against NFC West rival 49ers, they showed NFL fans that Mike Tomlin's choice to put instead of attempting to convert days earlier against the Vikings was a shrewd decision.

In his first full game as a 49er against the Rams, McCaffrey had a rushing touchdown, a receiving touchdown and even threw a touchdown pass.

After recovering the ball close to their own end zone, the 49ers get stuffed three times in a row, and are forced to punt with a minute left in the game. Xavier Smith gets a big return to give the Rams excellent field position, but a holding call moves Los Angeles back to the 50.

The San Francisco 49ers injury problems shined through in their list of inactive players for their Week 5 matchup vs. the Rams.
