The 49ers' Late-Game Struggles Continue

The San Francisco 49ers, who won the NFC title last year, are facing an all-too-familiar problem. They lost again in the final quarter, this time to the Los Angeles Rams by a score of 12-6. The game had some surprising moments, like linebacker De’Vondre Campbell not stepping in when teammate Dre Greenlaw got injured. Greenlaw, who made a remarkable comeback from a Super Bowl Achilles tear just 10 months ago, had to leave the game due to a knee problem. Quarterback Brock Purdy made a costly mistake by throwing an interception, and receiver Deebo Samuel dropped a crucial pass. With a record of 6-8 and a dismal 1-4 in division games, the 49ers' playoff dreams are virtually over. Tight end George Kittle and coach Kyle Shanahan both expressed disappointment and emphasized the need for team unity.
