SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- It was a short week -- a very short week -- and the Los Angeles Rams' defense was nearing the point of exhaustion. Two special teams fumbles and their own ineffectiveness kept them on the field for almost the entire last half of Thursday night's fourth quarter. But there was no time to rest, while holding onto a two-point lead against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers and looking to salvage a victory from a wild night.
"We had to dig deep," Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman said after an eventual 41-39 win.
