Coach Blames Himself for Crucial Overtime Call

Rams head coach Sean McVay has publicly accepted full accountability for a pivotal play that occurred during overtime on Sunday night. The team's offensive possession faltered on a crucial third-and-one situation, resulting in a two-yard loss and an eventual punt. McVay explicitly stated that the failed play was entirely his fault due to his choice of play call.

He expressed regret for not using a timeout to re-evaluate the situation, acknowledging that the opposing team made a good defensive call. McVay indicated that he felt his performance as a play-caller was subpar throughout the game, particularly outside of the initial series where his team executed well. He highlighted the defense's role in keeping the team competitive despite his coaching struggles.

McVay concluded by expressing gratitude for his team's resilience in overcoming what he described as "bad coaching." He emphasized his players' ability to stick with the game plan and find a way to win, despite his admitted shortcomings in calling plays during the game.
