Among the reasons they were able to pull off that turnaround was a drop by 49ers wide receiver Ronnie Bell. Bell got open on a double move with just over a minute to play in a tie game and Brock Purdy delivered a pass that would have put the 49ers into field goal position. The ball clanked off of Bell, however, and the Rams were able to force a punt that led to their game-winning field goal. It's not Bell's first drop, but Purdy said the team isn't going to lose faith in him. "He's a young guy. I love him, man," Purdy said, via a transcript from the Rams.
