Rams coach Sean McVay says they ran the wrong play on the fourth-quarter pick-6 that helped the 49ers lock up a victory on Monday night at Levi’s Stadium.
Rams coach Sean McVay received flashbacks when San Francisco 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga jumped the route to intercept Matthew Stafford’s screen pass intended for Cooper Kupp and returned it for a 52-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to seal the 24-9 victory for the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium.
McVay said he wanted three playmakers on the right side of the field with one on the opposite end instead of the two-by-two look they gave the 49ers, who were in man-to-man coverage. Hufanga, a former USC standout, said he took the gamble to jump the route because the Rams made it obvious they were going to call another screen pass.
Shelton started the season as the right guard, but he’s played center the past three games to fill in for the injured Brian Allen, who’s nursing a knee injury. Shelton injured his ankle in the first quarter against the 49ers and attempted to play on it before being officially ruled out for the remainder of the game. Jeremiah Kolone stepped in as the third-string center.
“We’re taking it a day at a time with him,” McVay said about Allen. “He is making good progress. Whether that’s this week or the following week, we’re kind of keeping all options open and available.
