San Francisco wins in overtime
The 49ers hit a field goal and stopped the Rams on 4th and 1 to win the game 26-23. Williams’ 14-yard score was the longest of the night, so he earned the King of the End Zone crown.

The 49ers lead 20-14.
Kyren Williams takes the lead

The 49ers lead 14-7 in the second quarter.
Christian McCaffrey catches touchdown
Christian McCaffrey scores after five catches and eight carries. He recorded a one-yard touchdown reception, so he doesn’t overtake his teammate for the promo lead.

Tonges takes the early lead for King of the End Zone, but this likely won’t last.
