Jimmy Garoppolo completed 16 of 30 passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns for San Francisco, which blew a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter. Deebo Samuel and George Kittle caught scoring passes, and Jimmie Ward had an interception.

Gay's game-winning boot was set up by Stafford's 25-yard completion to Kupp tothe 49ers' 12-yard line.

After the score, San Francisco couldn't move the ball, and Aaron Donald's pressure forced Garoppolo to make a desperate under-handed toss that Howard picked off to seal the victory.

Odell Beckham Jr. caught nine passes for 113 yards for Los Angeles, whichoutgained the 49ers in total yards 396 to 282 and had big edges in offensive plays (76 to 50) and first downs (25 to 16).
