Garoppolo was questionable pregame with injured thumb Things weren’t looking too promising for San Francisco in the opening half as the offense struggled to move the ball, and the defense couldn’t contain Rams QB Matthew Stafford who was almost perfect through two quarters. If they were to lose, then they would need a New Orleans Saints loss or tie against the Atlanta Falcons. Niners flat start almost cost themįor the Niners the scenario couldn’t have been more clear. Ambry Thomas came up with the game winning interception in overtime to secure the 27-24 victory over the LA Rams. More players kneeled in recent weeks than had done before, others locking arms in a show of unity, at times with team owners.The San Francisco 49ers are on their way to the post season after an incredible comeback in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon. Remarks by Trump, who had been reluctant to condemn white supremacy groups following a deadly rally in Charlottesville last month, have not sat well with NFL players, most of whom are African-American.
"The NFL is doing the hard work of trying to move from protest to progress, working to bring people together.
Trump's tweet sparked the NFL to push back in a statement, saying "commentary this morning about the commissioner's position on the anthem is not accurate." That sparked a Twitter posting from Trump saying: "It is about time that Roger Goodell of the NFL is finally demanding that all players STAND for our great National Anthem-RESPECT OUR COUNTRY." We need to move past this controversy, and we want to do that together with our players." "The controversy over the anthem is a barrier to having honest conversations and making real progress on the underlying issues. "We also care deeply about our players and respect their opinions and concerns about critical social issues. We want to honor our flag and our country, and our fans expect that of us," Goodell wrote. "Like many of our fans, we believe that everyone should stand for the national anthem. Goodell tried to calm matters last Tuesday in a memo to teams where he stopped short of demanding players stand for the anthem.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says he wants in-depth talks between players and owners on the matter so each side can understand the issues from the other's perspective - and how to address them in communities across the United States. Players have said the only motives are to raise awareness on US racial inequality and social injustice issues, using one of the very freedoms the flag represents.
Trump has pushed the notion that kneeling players are insulting the nation, the flag and US soldiers. This is the fourth weekend since Trump began stoking the flicking flame of the protest move by calling any player who kneeled during the pre-game playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" a "son of a bitch" and saying such players should be fired. US President Donald Trump later took credit for Pence's actions, saying he had told him to leave if players kneeled, something all but certain to happen since 49ers players had been doing it all season. Last weekend, a 49ers' kneel protest prompted Pence to walk out of an Indianapolis Colts home game.
