The San Francisco 49ers blew a 14-point lead in the second half on Sunday and lost to the rival Los Angeles Rams, 27-24, on a field goal in the final seconds at SoFi Stadium.
The loss dropped the 49ers, who are missing a number of key players, to 1–2 on the season. They were almost able hold off the Rams but a late drop by wide receiver Ronnie Bell that would have put them in field goal position with just over one minute remaining in a tie game played a big role in letting Los Angeles get the wild victory.

"He had a double move and that was the look he wanted and he got his guy and by the time I got to him I think I was just trying to give him a chance, and I don’t think I had enough juice on it from where I was in the pocket," Purdy said. "Obviously I think I could have given him a better ball but he’s a young guy and I love him. We’ve all got Ronnie’s back so we’re going to continue to need him and build him up and we’re all in this together.

Foosball ain’t an Individual Sport, unlike transgender boxing....
YMMV
Huh?
If “they” beats the snot out of “them”, is that really an individual sport?
I get so confused.
LOL! 😂
He doesn’t have enough starts to even be making this comparison. Not saying he isn’t good.
They have an apples to apples comparison, for the same number of starts as Brady, and others. His passer rating was a tiny bit higher.
