The throw was Goff's second interception of the game. Cornerback Richard Sherman hauled in the earlier one. The 49ers currently lead the Rams 14-3.
"If he just keeps grinding, keeps doing what he's doing, and he's going to start getting the production," 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said on Kinlaw last week. "... He knows that what happened the play before doesn't matter. He's got to operate and do the best he can on the very next play. I love everything about him. He's going to be special. He's just got to keep that mindset."
In April, the 49ers selected Kinlaw out of South Carolina with the No. 14 overall draft pick.
