Down 21-7 late in the first half, the Los Angeles Rams elected to try a fake field goal from the 49ers' 17-yard line. Holder Johnny Hekker pulled the ball and rolled out for a pass to tight end Kendall Blanton, but he was tackled by D.J. Jones before reaching the first-down marker.
Rams head coach Sean McVay reflected on the play after the 31-10 loss to the 49ers at Levi's Stadium and took responsibility for the call that kept his team from an easy three points going into halftime.
“In hindsight, it wasn't a good decision. So, you know, that's my responsibility. It was something that we felt like we had a chance to work. They made the play, we didn't, and that falls on my shoulders," McVay told reporters.
