That was what I was so impressed with," McVay said. In overtime, McVay blamed himself for a third-and-1 run on which the Rams lost two yards and had to punt.
If the Bears had scored on the subsequent possession, the Rams' season would have been over."That third-and-1 play, I'm thinking, man, if that ends up being the play that costs us because I didn't put us in a great spot, that would be a rough offseason," McVay said.
