Rams head coach Sean McVay rushed to the press box with reporters and offered a two-word comment on what happened in the final minute of the game.
“Oh my goodness,” he said.
“… Our team has done a great job. We've just got to keep fighting. This team has grit. This team has tenacity. It's only one game, but I'm really proud of them,” McVay continued.

Purdy was 22 of 30 for 292 yards and three touchdown passes. Jennings had 11 catches for 175 yards and caught all of Purdy's touchdown passes. Jennings has only two touchdown catches in the past two seasons.
Stafford, a veteran with a Super Bowl championship, showed resilience, finishing with 221 passing yards and two touchdown passes, while Williams also had two rushing touchdowns.
