The San Francisco 49ers had the NFC Championship in their hands and couldn’t hold on to it.
San Francisco took a 10-point lead into the fourth quarter after Jimmy Garoppolo connected with George Kittle on a 16-yard touchdown completion.
Los Angles responded with a touchdown drive of their own to cut the lead to 17-14, and that’s when the wheels came off for San Francisco.
Jimmy Garoppolo hit Elijah Mitchell for 21-yards to start the 49ers possession, then connected with Deebo Samuel on a screen for 12-yards. After Mitchell burst through the middle of the Rams defense for 9, San Francisco faced second and one at the Rams 44.
