Rams make fun statement in hard-fought loss to rival 49ers

LA Times  

Their home stadium was decorated in hostile red and throaty boos. His last name is Williams, he’s a bruising second-yard running back who gained 100 total yards with two touchdowns while catching the first scoring pass by a Rams running back in more than a year. “There’s no more conscientious guy on our team, nobody wants to do right more than that guy, I’ve got no problem with it,” said Stafford of Williams’ mistake. “He knows he can catch that ball, but that’s part of it.” The game wasn’t actually clinched until the defensive pressure finally got to Stafford in the final five minutes and the Rams trailing by a touchdown. “There’s some things we felt like … we had a good grasp of, we’re just a litttttle bit away from being able to execute,” said McVay.
