Rams Coach McVay Admits Fault for Key Overtime Decision vs. 49ers

The Los Angeles Rams faced the San Francisco 49ers in a "Thursday Night Football" game. The Rams' offense performed well in the second half and overtime. However, on a crucial fourth-and-1 play, they failed to gain a yard. As a result, the 49ers won the game 26-23 in overtime, impacting the NFC West standings.

The unsuccessful fourth-and-1 play was a run to the right by running back Kyren Williams. Despite Williams' 65 yards on 13 carries, the Rams primarily relied on their passing game, accumulating nearly 400 passing yards.

After the game, Rams coach Sean McVay admitted fault for the play call, describing it as a "bad call." He expressed regret for the decisions made during the game, acknowledging that they could have handled the situation better.

McVay mentioned that he did not consider attempting a field goal during the overtime drive, as their goal was to win the game. Reflecting on the outcome, he acknowledged that the play selection was poor and took responsibility for putting the players in a difficult position.

Despite the loss, McVay emphasized the need to learn from the experience and use it as motivation to improve. He expressed confidence in the team's resilience and determination moving forward, focusing on their upcoming Week 6 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
