🔮 Even injured Rams superstar Myles Garrett, watching from a nearby exercise bike, couldn’t contain his amusement.
🔮 At this rate, they might need Waze to tell them how to get there.
🔮 Fortunately for Sean McVay, the Los Angeles Chargers were more than willing to take that burden off their hands.
🔮 Entering Saturday’s BIG10 showdown on Saturday, Lincoln Riley was running out of excuses, running out of goodwill and, depending on whom you asked, running out of time as head coach of the USC Trojans.
🔮 But Thursday, they were confronted with a sobering reminder that football’s most devastating hits might not reveal their consequences for decades.
🔮 After a week in which the Rams lost Davante Adams, Poona Ford, Kobie Turner and Blake Grupe to significant injuries, with Trent McDuffie and Nate Landman also sidelined and Puka Nacua battling a calf injury, McVay could have spent his postgame press conference explaining why his depleted roster couldn’t compete.
🔮 That physical mentality could prove invaluable Sunday against a Raiders defense that has struggled to limit yards after the catch.
🔮 For a Rams team desperately trying to climb out of last place in the NFC West, Stafford’s historic afternoon couldn’t have come at a better time.
🔮 Afterward, McVay admitted he regretted the decision. “I wish I would have had a better play call and gone forward, got it a lot tighter.
🔮 “Vegas, baby, Vegas!” Thirty years later, Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams could use a similar intervention. Because what began as a season filled with Super Bowl aspirations has become a five-alarm fire, and the team that dreamed of playing for a Lombardi Trophy in its own stadium might need a miracle just to escape the NFC West basement.
