Niners' Jones beats odds, lets it fly in career night

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — In the hours before Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan approached quarterback Mac Jones and let him know that the short-handed Niners were more than touchdown underdogs against their division rivals.

"I don't really pay attention to much to it," Jones said, laughing. "Kyle came up to me, and he was pissed about it. He's like, 'Dude, I can't believe they moved us to underdogs again,' or like more [extreme underdogs] or whatever. And I'm like, 'I don't know what that means really, [but] like, yeah, let's go kill them.' He was pissed about it. I was like, 'Yeah, I'm pissed, too.'"

Mac Jones’s gutsy win is latest example of Kyle Shanahan magic

Yahoo Sports hosts Jason Fitz and Caroline Fenton react to the San Francisco quarterback’s strong play on Thursday night in a 26-23 overtime win over the Rams.

There was one incredibly positive thing, I think we can agree on.

Like, Mac Jones was everything that you would ever hope that Mac Jones could be in one game.

And I just sat here and I thought, my God, I don't know if it's just sitting at the table next to Kyle Shanahan.

I don't know if it's having a little bit of pudding with him.

I don't know what the secret is, but whatever is happening with quarterbacks that are in the same room as Kyle Shanahan, good God, Mac Jones looked like a different human last night.

Rams coach Sean McVay 'sick' after regrettable call in overtime loss to 49ers: 'Bad call by me'

Despite making enough errors to torpedo their chances of winning, Sean McVay's Rams had one more opportunity to emerge victorious Thursday night at SoFi Stadium.

"It's a bad call," McVay admitted quickly after the Rams' 26-23 overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers. "It's a bad call by me."

The call in question came on fourth-and-1 from San Francisco's 11-yard line with less than four minutes to play in overtime. It was a situation in which McVay knew he wanted to go for the first down in an attempt to win the game outright instead of trying a game-tying field goal and giving the 49ers one more possession to earn the victory.
