49ers' Season Ends With Heartbreaking NFC Championship Game Loss to Rams

Heartbreak in LA: 49ers' season ends with tough loss to Rams originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea

The 49ers' season came to an end in heartbreaking fashion Sunday as they blew a 10-point lead and lost 20-17 to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game at SoFi Stadium on Sunday.

San Francisco took a 17-7 lead on a touchdown pass from Jimmy Garoppolo to George Kittle late in the third quarter, but the Rams scored 13 unanswered points to hand the 49ers a stunning loss.

The Rams advance to Super Bowl LVI in their home stadium where they will take on the AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, Feb. 13. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. PT on NBC.

The loss to the Rams might have been Garoppolo's last game with the 49ers as the team appears set to move on to 2021 No. 3 overall draft pick Trey Lance next season.

The 49ers were attempting to beat the Rams for the third time this season, but couldn't complete the task. Now coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch head into the offseason trying to figure out how to get their squad over the hump next season.
