Los Angeles won the game 27-24.

Rams head coach Sean McVay scurried into the press room with reporters and responded with two words to what happened in the final minute of the game.

“Holy shit,” he said.

“…What an effort by our group. Just keep fighting, keep fighting,” McVay continued. “This group has a lot of grit. They're very resilient. And it's just one game, but I'm really proud of them.”

Los Angeles scored 13 points in the fourth quarter to pull off an epic win, surviving a strong performance from quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receiver Jauan Jennings while playing without their stars Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel.

Purdy completed 22 of 30 passes for 292 yards. Jennings caught 11 passes for 175 yards and caught each of Purdy's touchdown passes. Jennings caught just two touchdown passes in the last two seasons.

Stafford, the veteran Super Bowl winner, showed his durability, recording 221 passing yards and two touchdown passes. Williams also had two rushing touchdowns.
