Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers went for the 2-point attempt to win the game vs. the Rams
Merry Christmas, 49ers!
The 49ers visited the Coliseum to face the Rams and to be honest, it wasn’t all that exciting, which is expected for two teams below .500. At some point, Saturday’s game became a contest of who can deliver the better punt.
But the 49ers were presented with a 2-minute drill opportunity and they took advantage. The team scored a touchdown, putting them down 1 point. All they needed to do was go for the PAT.
But Chip Kelly and Colin Kaepernick had other things in mind. They decided to go for the 2-point conversion and the win. Kaepernick took it himself and ran it to the right, timing it just right for a leap into the end zone.
The Rams did have an opportunity to score, but were intercepted with 16 seconds left. It’s a great win for the 49ers, but with with Browns winning earlier that day, they also gave up the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s NFL Draft.
