Script, flipped.
The Rams finally beat the San Francisco 49ers in a meaningful regular-season game.
Kyren Williams flipped too.
If you haven’t seen it, you soon will. It’s an Instagram instant classic, a bit of in-your-Facebook flair. The Rams running back ran what’s called an arrow route through the middle of the 49ers defense, caught a beautifully timed pass from Matthew Stafford — one that required the precision of throwing into an open car window passing on the freeway — and punctuated the 15-yard touchdown with an impromptu front flip into the end zone.
Williams wound up on his tush instead of his toes.
“He didn’t stick the landing,” needled rookie running back Blake Corum from the locker next door. “I teased him about that.”
That’s about the only valid critique of Williams in the 27-24 stunner , an ultra-rare upset of the NFC West bullies by the Bay. He scored all three touchdowns, adding a pair of scoring runs to his gem of a catch and carry.
