49ers’ improbable loss to Rams highlights wild Shanahan stat originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The 49ers’ 27-24 loss to the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium was improbable, but not uncharted territory as a troubling trend under Kyle Shanahan’s watch in San Francisco continued.
The 49ers fell to the Rams despite taking a 24-14 lead with 11:57 remaining in the game, marking the fifth time San Francisco lost a matchup in which they held a 10-plus point lead in the fourth quarter since Shanahan’s tenure began in 2017.
