The San Francisco 49ers watched their postseason hopes slip away in an ugly loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night in Week 15. While quarterback Brock Purdy played poorly in the heavy rain, completing 45 percent of his passes for 142 scoreless yards and an interception, no one will really remember because linebacker De\u2019Vondre Campbell stole the spotlight, distinguishing himself as the least popular person in the Bay Area.<\/p>\n

Campbell refused to enter the game in the third quarter of a close matchup. Following the brutal loss, head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that Campbell \u201csaid he didn\u2019t want to play today.\u201d The veteran defender then left the field and headed to the locker room, effectively quitting on his team.<\/p>\n

Needless to say this was not a good look for Campbell and his decision to walk out on the 49ers mid-game did not go over well. \u201cIt\u2019s very dumb, very stupid, very immature\u2026 I don\u2019t see how you can do that to your teammates,\u201d tight end George Kittle said of Campbell per ESPN\u2019s Nick Wagoner on X.<\/p>\n

Cornerback Charvarius Ward was more direct, calling Campbell\u2019s move \u201csome subtle s**t\u201d that \u201churt the team,\u201d via Bleacher Report on X. Ward noted that the ninth-year veteran shouldn\u2019t have dressed if he didn\u2019t want to play, before adding, \u201cHe probably gonna be cut soon. It is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 49ers signed Campbell to a one-year deal prior to the 2024 season to fill in for Dre Greenlaw while he recovered from a torn Achilles suffered during the Super Bowl. Greenlaw made his season debut Thursday night, sending Campbell to the bench. When Greenlaw needed a rest, the team turned to Campbell who promptly refused to play.<\/p>\n

The 49ers would go on to lose to the Rams four kicks to two kicks. The defeat dropped San Francisco to 6-8 on the season and just 1-4 in the division. Meanwhile the Rams are rolling. LA has won three straight games and improved to 8-6. They’re now just a game behind the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks in the loss column.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
