McVay: No Excuses for Late-Game Penalties
29 Sep
Summary
- Rams committed five penalties in the final two minutes of Week 3.
- Coach McVay stated the team won't use penalties as an excuse.
- Several key players are injured or questionable for Week 4.
Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay has stated the team will not dwell on a critical defensive pass interference call that contributed to their Week 3 loss against the Denver Broncos. The play in question occurred on third down, leading to a Broncos touchdown that sealed the game with under a minute remaining.
McVay emphasized that the call, made by referee Bill Vinovich's crew, is in the past and the team must move forward. This incident followed a pattern of penalties, with the Rams incurring five flags in the final two minutes of the game, a significant number for that officiating crew.
The Rams are also contending with significant player injuries. Cornerback Jaylen Watson dislocated his arm and is unlikely to play in Week 4. Tight end Terrance Ferguson sprained his ankle and will likely miss the next game, while Colby Parkinson's ankle injury status is still being evaluated. Wide receiver Puka Nacua, sidelined for two games with a groin issue, is being monitored for a potential return against the Eagles.
