San Francisco hadn’t been able to convert on a single 3rd-and-15+ all season long. However, on the game-winning drive against the Rams, they executed successfully in those situations twice, which proved to be the difference after Gould’s GW-FG eliminated the reigning NFC champs.
The @49ers are into Rams territory!
On 3rd & 16, @JimmyG_10 connects deep with @ESanders_10! #GoNiners
