SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
Last time out: Chargers 38, 49ers 35 (OT)
Record: 7-8 overall, 1-4 in division
Snapshot: The 49ers blew a 21-point halftime lead, losing on a Nick Novak 40-yard field goal in overtime. San Diego quarterback Philip Rives converted a pair of fourth-and-longs on the final drive and then found Malcom Floyd for an 11-yard touchdown with 29 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to force overtime. Rivers finished 33-of-54 for 356 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions.
Notable: 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick had the longest run of the season for a quarterback, scampering 90 yards into the end zone for a 35-21 lead late in the third quarter. San Francisco rushed 40 times for a franchise-record 355 yards but couldn't hold on. The 49ers crossed midfield in overtime but Quinton Patton fumbled, leading to San Diego's winning kick.
Quotable: 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh after the loss: "Right now there's not much to say. That's a tough one."

Notable: Four players were ejected during a mid-game fight. It began when Rams linebacker Alec Ogletree delivered a late hit on Beckham, Jr. out of bounds. Giants wide receiver Preston Parker, Giants defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins, Giants defensive end Damontre Moore and Rams defensive end William Hayes were tossed. The Rams fell behind 20-3 and a late rally wasn't enough.

Key number: 0. Touchdowns allowed by the Rams in their past three games before New York's offensive explosion.
