Sean McVay comments on being so pass-heavy vs. Bears

Story byCameron DaSilva, Rams WireTue, January 20, 2026 at 5:46 PM UTC·3 min readIt’s far easier to run the ball in cold and windy conditions like the ones the Los Angeles Rams played in on Sunday, but the weather didn’t stop Sean McVay from airing it out. He called a very pass-heavy game against the Chicago Bears, having Matthew Stafford drop back 46 times, attempting a total of 42 passes – only 20 of which he completed. At one point in the game, in which the Rams never trailed by more than three points, Los Angeles had 34 dropbacks and only 11 rush attempts. On Monday, McVay explained why the Rams were so pass-heavy against the Bears and attributed some of it to mistakes that were made by the offense.
