Hutchinson: 49ers collapse, drop Super Bowl chance in heartbreak loss to Rams
“But even after all that, and the Rams taking a 20-17 lead, San Francisco got one last chance, with 1:46 on the clock and one timeout.
They fell apart again. A near pick, then a negative completion and a Garoppolo tipped interception concluded the game. It was a disastrous end to the game and the season for a team which seemed like they just might pull off the unthinkable. It was not to be.”
I think he handled the season amazing,” left tackle Trent Williams said. “Nobody wants to be in the position he was put in. But you couldn’t tell. Jimmy is a class act. He handled himself professionally every day. I’m proud of him. He’s a brother for life.”
“Finally, Rams receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and outside linebacker Leonard Floyd approached the solitary Samuel, with Beckham bending over and whispering something in his fellow receiver’s ear.
What did he say? Samuel said he didn’t know — he couldn’t pay attention because he was so upset.
“I’ll catch up with him later on,” he said.”
“We’ve known that Garoppolo was on borrowed time and that Shanahan and Lynch set it up this way while also making sure that Garoppolo could take them as far as he could this season. Nobody lied to anybody. Nobody backstabbed anybody. Garoppolo and Shanahan went as far as they could together, and it was sad for both of them when it was over. They walked the tightrope for a long time and then they fell off together. It was something to watch this season. It really was something.”

“Hopefully, I didn’t make it any worse,” Williams said. “Hopefully, it will just be something that will probably take about a month off to have to heal, so I don’t have any lingering issues. But it’s football.”
Fred Warner apologizes for hit on Matthew Stafford that ‘looked bad’
“I just want to say congrats to the Rams obviously, and I want to do address my hit on Stafford early in the game after Jimmie [Ward]’s interception,” Warner said. “You guys have watched me for a long time, never doing anything out of malicious intent. I watched the video, it looks bad
