The San Francisco 49ers (10–7) were forced to win their sixth straight over the Los Angeles Rams (12–5) to clinch a playoff berth, and successfully rallied from a 17-point deficit at SOFI Stadium, with Robbie Gould kicking the 24-yard field goal game winner in overtime for a 27–24 victory.

The win places the Niners into the NFC playoffs as a Wildcard at the Dallas Cowboys next week.
