"Sean McVay Proved He's Overrated!": Craig Carton Rips Into Rams HC's "Moronic" Game Management in NFCCG Loss to Seahawks

Sean McVay's strategic errors and special teams mistakes played a major role in the Rams' 31-27 loss, despite Matthew Stafford's 374 yards and three touchdowns.

  • On Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams lost 31-27 to the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field in the NFC championship.
  • McVay opted to pass on the Rams' final first-half possession, giving Seattle time to score, and later went for it on fourth-and-4 at the Seattle 6 with 4:59 remaining, but Stafford's pass was broken up by Devon Witherspoon.
  • Statistically, the Rams offense gained 479 yards against the Seahawks defense, but Xavier Smith muffed a punt recovered by Dareke Young, leading to a quick drive by Sam Darnold.
  • The loss denied the Los Angeles Rams a Super Bowl berth and was their second defeat at Seattle in two months, while Tom Brady criticized Sean McVay, Rams head coach, on Fox.
  • Despite nine successful seasons, Sean McVay, Rams head coach, faces renewed scrutiny as he declined to discuss Matthew Stafford’s return next year despite key players like Puka Nacua staying.
