The San Francisco 49ers secured a playoff spot Sunday by defeating the Los Angeles Rams 27-24 in overtime at SoFi Stadium.
San Francisco rookie cornerback Ambry Thomas intercepted a deep pass by Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford intended for Odell Beckham Jr. to end the game.
The Rams, who could have clinched the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs, won the West title minutes before their loss when the Arizona Cardinals lost to the Seattle Seahawks.
