The San Francisco 49ers finally won an NFC West matchup, and it took overtime to do it as they beat the St. Louis Rams 19-16 in front of a Levi's Stadium crowd.

The victory, their fifth of the season, will likely hurt their draft status in April, but gave the home crowd a win to watch in what was likely Jim Tomsula's final game as the 49ers head coach.

Following the game, Tomsula said that he has not spoken to ownership about his future and does not have any meetings with them scheduled. "I'm not going to make this about Jim and Jim's job status today," Tomsula said. He wanted the players to focus on the win. "Today is all about those players," he added.

In the opening seconds of the second quarter, 49ers WR Anquan Boldin took a leisurely stroll into the end zone after boxing out CB Janoris Jenkins to make the catch for his fourth touchdown of the season on a 33-yard completion from QB Blaine Gabbert. It was his longest touchdown of the season and the 49ers took a 7-3 lead over the visiting Rams.



For the Rams, QB Case Keenum would finish the game 22 of 37 for 231 yards and no touchdowns. RB Tre Mason would have their lone touchdown of the game.
