The Rams beat the 49ers in Week 3, but Los Angeles reportedly must pay up after the final play of the game got heated.
The NFL fined the Rams organization $100,000 after an inactive player, cornerback Derion Kendrick, shoved 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk during a skirmish in the game’s final moments, NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero reported Saturday, citing sources.

Kendrick, who is on injured reserve, was fined $5,656 for unsportsmanlike conduct during the incident, and Rams safety Kamren Kinchens was fined $5,653 for taunting.
The dustup occurred at the end of a frustrating 27-24 loss for San Francisco, which squandered a 14-point first-quarter lead to a depleted Los Angeles team at SoFi Stadium. As the game clock wound down in the fourth quarter, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy heaved a desperation throw on the game’s final play and, after a series of laterals, the ball ended up in Aiyuk’s hands before he was tackled to the ground near the Rams’ sideline.
Unrelated to the late-game tussle, two Los Angeles linebackers were fined for actions in Sunday’s game as well — Christian Rozeboom must pay $7,778 for unnecessary toughness (facemask) and Byron Young was fined $7,014 for a low hit on Purdy.
No 49ers players received fines from the Week 3 game. And now, San Francisco will look to bounce back in Week 4 against the New England Patriots on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.
