Kevin Harlan’s call of a fan on the field highlights MNF’s Rams-49ers disaster

Sep 12, 2016, 10:28 PM | Updated: 11:00 pm

Los Angeles Rams coach Jeff Fisher might regret his anti-7-9 and anti-8-8 record talk that was caught on “Hard Knocks.”

His team debuted in San Francisco for the Week 1 finale on Monday Night Football only to fall in embarrassing 28-0 fashion. The Rams lost to a 49ers team that isn’t expected to do much under first-year head coach Chip Kelly.

Quickly, a summary: A fan ran onto the field and all over it as security took its sweet time to react, and the Rams’ starting quarterback that wasn’t No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff managed to go 17-for-35 for 130 yards (a 3.7 yards-per-attempt average) and two picks. Furthermore, Los Angeles’ star defensive player Aaron Donald completely lost it, got kicked out, and people totally understood how lucky he was to no longer be a part of the game.

How bad was it, really?

The best part of the game was Kevin Harlan’s Westwood One radio call of the aforementioned fan on the field.

“That was the most exciting thing to happen tonight,” Harlan said, sighing.

If you missed it, you’re a lucky one. Here’s a tweet-cap of the NFL nightcap, courtesy of a bunch of professional people who appreciate sports but not enough to find anything good about the game.
