INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Call it a Hollywood ending. We’re close enough, right? This was definitely dramatic enough.

Thursday night’s 26-23 overtime thriller came down to the final play: a fourth-down tackle for no gain by the 49ers’ no-Bosa, no-interceptions defense against the “Big Boy” Rams to reward another bipartisan crowd.

The 49ers flipped their L.A. script. They indeed blew a fourth-quarter lead, just as they did in the 2021 season’s NFC Championship Game and more recently in last season’s Week 3 visit. This time, they won when they weren’t expected to ever lead with a shorthanded cast.
