Rams-49ers takeaways: Backups on offense, clutch defense provide winning kick

LA Times  

The Rams’ Joshua Karty kicks the game-winning field goal. Karty came through with a field goal that pulled the Rams within seven points in the fourth quarter, a game-tying extra point and a 37-yard game-winning field goal. “The extra point at the end, and field goal at the end, those were my best two kicks.” Karty said that before his final kick, he thought about former Stanford teammate Emmet Kenney, who Friday kicked a game-winning field goal against Syracuse. “As soon as that happened on Friday, I knew like, ‘How cliché would that be if both of us got game-winning kicks in the same week?’” Karty said.
