McVay Takes the Heat as Rams Collapse in NFC Title

An opinion piece blames Rams coach Sean McVay for their 31-27 NFC Championship loss to the Seattle Seahawks, pointing to a late-first-half sequence that stalled the run, a muffed punt that gave Seattle a scoring drive, and a controversial fourth-and-4 decision at the Seattle 6 that cost a potential go-ahead field goal. Despite Matthew Stafford’s 374 yards and 3 TDs and 479 total yards, costly coaching decisions and special-teams miscues overshadowed a competitive Rams effort as they fall short of back-to-back Super Bowls; the article calls for accountability while noting the team still has talent and that McVay is expected to return.
