The San Francisco 49ers have suffered a bad loss for the second consecutive week.
And not all bad losses are built the same. Last week against Minnesota, the offense couldn’t quite figure out the Vikings’ defense in time to get past a team the 49ers probably should beaten. Sunday’s loss to the Rams was much worse than that.
A total late-game collapse by the 49ers handed the Rams a 27-24 victory on a silver platter. After three quarters that didn’t see San Francisco pull away from their division rivals, the Rams scratched and clawed their way to the upset win.
