The title of our game thread Sunday was “expect the unexpected.” First, the Ravens and Steelers had gone into overtime. Then, the Jaguars upset the Colts. The morning slate of games was a precursor of what was to come.
During the first half, endless tweets were complaining about how Kyle Shanahan deserved what was happening for playing Jimmy Garoppolo with a torn UCL in his thumb. The 49ers' defense had a better shot of hitting the lottery than stopping the Rams on third down.
You know how the story ends. Down 17, San Francisco came back to beat a 12-win team on the road.
