WATCH: Carson Wentz Rushing Score Gives Rams Late Lead vs. Niners

The Los Angeles Rams hold a late lead over the San Francisco 49ers after a rushing score from quarterback Carson Wentz.

The Los Angeles Rams went with a gamble, and it paid off.

Trailing by seven partway through the fourth quarter on Sunday against the NFC's top-seeded San Francisco 49ers, quarterback Carson Wentz found the end zone on the ground for L.A. from 12 yards out. Then, instead of kicking an extra point to tie the game at 20, head coach Sean McVay opted to go for two, a conversion that was successful on a pass from Wentz to Tutu Atwell.
