Joshua Karty, aged 22, successfully kicked a 37-yard field goal with just two seconds left on the clock, leading the Los Angeles Rams to a remarkable 27-24 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Inglewood, California, on Sunday. The Rams scored 13 points in the final 6:15 of the game to secure the win.

Matthew Stafford completed 16 of 25 passes for 221 yards and one touchdown, while Kyren Williams contributed significantly with 89 rushing yards and two touchdowns, along with one touchdown reception.

Los Angeles then forced a punt from San Francisco with less than a minute remaining. Rookie Xavier Smith returned the punt for 38 yards to the 50-yard line. A pass interference penalty against the 49ers advanced the ball to the San Francisco 19-yard line, setting the stage for Karty to kick the game-winning field goal in only his third NFL game.
