"Sean McVay needed only to the run the ball down Carolina's throat on their last possession, killing the clock and in the process, at worst, getting a tying field goal."
"Instead McVay chose to pass, pass, pass, resulting in a Stafford fumble/turnover and effectively ending the game."
"His platitude of "humility is only a day away" feels more like a self-fulfilling prophecy."
The Rams suffered a particularly brutal loss to an inferior Panthers team. Matthew Stafford and Emmanuel Forbes performed very poorly, but the primary responsibility lies with the coaching staff. On the final possession, Sean McVay should have run the ball to drain the clock and secure at worst a tying field goal; instead he repeatedly called passes, leading to a Stafford fumble and turnover that effectively ended the game. McVay's remark 'humility is only a day away' reads like a self-fulfilling prophecy, underscoring a pattern of questionable decision-making and failed game management.
