Deebo caught a 12 yard pass in the 4th quarter with 12:42 left on the clock. It was the last time Deebo touched the ball on offense.
The 9ers punted with 9:55 on that same drive, and got 2 more possessions. They ran 6 more plays the rest of the game. They went like this:
Incomplete
Incomplete
Incomplete
Incomplete
complete for negative 3 yards
Interception.
If you go back to the final 2 plays of their 3rd to last drive. where it was 2nd and 1 from the Rams 44, they had a no gain and a 1 yard loss.
So basically with 11:23 left in the 4th quarter, the 9ers did not have a positive yardage play.
Whatever AD said to the defense, it worked. They dominated that 4th quarter in spectacular fashion. On top of that, Shanny decided to go away from his top weapon.
