"In his end-of-season press conference -- more than a week after the Los Angeles Rams' season ended -- head coach Sean McVay was asked if he had been able to "decompress" from the loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game. McVay said he had not, in part because of his love for the 2025 Rams team, saying the loss "probably hurt even more than any loss that I've ever been a part of.""
"But what McVay did say, is that if Stafford is back, he knows the quarterback "is still playing at an incredible level." Stafford, who turns 38 in February, just finished his 17th NFL season playing at what McVay called an MVP-level. The Rams quarterback is coming off the best season of his career, finishing the regular season as the odds-on favorite to be named MVP after leading the league in passing yards (4,707) and passing touchdowns (46)."
The Los Angeles Rams lost to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game, and Sean McVay said he has not been able to decompress, calling the loss potentially more painful than any he has experienced. The organization signed McVay and general manager Les Snead to multi-year extensions to secure leadership. Matthew Stafford has not announced whether he will play in 2026; the team granted him time to decide, and McVay expressed hope he will return. Stafford, turning 38 in February, completed his 17th season at an MVP-caliber level, leading the league with 4,707 passing yards and 46 touchdowns, and remains under contract through 2026 after a reworked deal.
