Niners Battle Back, Top Rams In OT To Cap Off Rough Season

At Santa Clara, California:

Phil Dawson kicked four field goals on Sunday, including the game-winner from 23 yards out 11:33 into overtime as the San Francisco 49ers (5-11) came back from a 16-10 halftime deficit and knocked off the St. Louis Rams (7-9) 19-16 to close out the National Football League season for both clubs.

The Niners avoided going winless in divisional games for the first time since 1978.  It may also have been Jim Tomsula's swan song as San Francisco's head coach.

The game may have been the Rams' finale after 21 years as a representative of St. Louis with a possible return to Los Angeles for the 2016 season a distinct possibility.
