Sean McVay reflects on Rams’ rapid rise since heartbreaking loss to Lions
The Los Angeles Rams faced off against the Detroit Lions in a pivotal matchup at SoFi Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Following the game, head coach Sean McVay and quarterback Matthew Stafford addressed the media, discussing not only the outcome but also the team’s performance and their swift transition to prepare for their upcoming contest against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday.
A Journey of Growth
In his post-game press conference, McVay took a moment to reflect on the team’s development since their gut-wrenching overtime defeat to the Lions last season. This loss served as a learning experience and was instrumental in their ascent to clinching their first division title since 2021.
“It seems like that was an eternity ago,” McVay remarked. “Coaching years are like dog years. That feels like it was about seven years ago,” he added with a chuckle, clearly indicating how far the team has come.
He recounted the intense nature of that previous matchup, emphasizing the competitive spirit that defined the game. “What I remember is a hard-fought back-and-forth battle. Our guys gave themselves a chance, and then they swore down a little bit. They did a great job in the overtime period of being able to make a drive. Every opportunity is a chance to learn from,” McVay said, highlighting the resilience and determination of his players.
As the Rams look ahead, the lessons learned from past challenges will undoubtedly play a crucial role in their preparation for the Seahawks. With each game, they continue to build on their experiences, striving for further improvement and success in the season ahead.
