Sean McVay did not have a great night coaching against the Chicago Bears, making some questionable calls for the Los Angeles Rams offense. He admitted to having an off night, but all that matters is the Rams won and are moving on to the NFC title game.
McVay was grateful his players performed well enough to get the win, showing them appreciation and a lot of respect in the locker room after the Rams’ victory. He gave a passionate speech at Soldier Field before the Rams packed up for Los Angeles, crediting them for overcoming adversity and not giving up when things didn’t go their way.

He singled out Kamren Curl for his outstanding night, recording 13 tackles, two passes defensed and a game-changing interception in overtime.
“How about my (expletive) man Kam Curl!” McVay yelled.
Kicker Harrison Mevis also got a shoutout from McVay for delivering the game-winner from 42 yards out, sending the Rams to the NFC title game.
“And then, finding a way to end the (expletive). Where’s Mevis at?!” he shouted, giving the big kicker a big hug.
Up next for the Rams are the Seahawks, who will be the home team in next weekend’s NFC title game.
“Let’s get our (expletive) minds right for Seattle,” McVay said to close it out.

The Rams have a great chance to reach their third Super Bowl under McVay, which would be a remarkable stretch in only nine seasons at the helm. One more win and they’ll be back in the big game with a chance to win another Lombardi.
