As they had in 1970, the Rams and 49ers staged a season long battle for the NFC West title that came down to the season's final game. The Rams season got off to a rocky and controversial start in New Orleans against the Saints and their rookie quarterback Archie Manning. The Saints trailed 20â17 in the final seconds and faced 4th and goal from the Rams' 1-yard line. Instead of settling for a tie (there was no overtime for regular season games in the NFL in 1971), the Saints gambled and went for the win. Manning ran a quarterback sneak in which the officials signaled touchdown, although television replays showed that Manning was stopped short of the goal line. So instead of a 20â17 win, the Rams lost 24â20. In week 2 the Rams needed a last second field goal to tie the Atlanta Falcons, 20â20.The Rams appeared to right their ship by winning their next four games, including a 20â13 win in San Francisco. But back-to-back losses to the Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Colts left the 4â3â1 Rams {{Frac|1|1|2}} games behind the 6â2 49ers. Then the Rams won 2 straight, including a 17â6 win in San Francisco; that gave the Rams a {{Frac|1|2}}-game lead in the division and they held the tiebreaker over the 49ers by virtue of their season sweep of S.F. The Rams then lost a Thanksgiving game in Dallas 28â21, but re-took the division lead with two games to play by beating the Saints 45â28. However, just as they had the year before, the Rams lost a Monday night game at home, this time to the Redskins, coached by former Rams head coach George Allen, 38â24. And just like the previous season's Monday night home loss to the Lions, this one ended up costing the Rams both the division title and the wild card berth (won by the Redskins). The Rams won their final game in Pittsburgh 23â14, but learned on their flight home that the 49ers rallied beat the Lions with a 4th-quarter touchdown, 31â27.Schedule{| class"wikitable" style"text-align:center"
