Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is known for being one of the brightest head coaches in the game, but he didn’t show it late against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
Late in the fourth quarter, with the Rams trailing the Packers by two scores and precious time clicking off the clock, Los Angeles ran the ball on third down with no timeouts.
The Rams then opted to kick a field goal at the last second.
It was…bizarre.
The Rams were down 11 with no timeouts and less than a minute to go and RAN THE BALL on 3rd and 1.
Sean McVay The Genius tho

Sean McVay is one of the best coaches in football. His play designs and offense are extraordinary. His leadship skills are widely praised by players. He does many things well. He also makes a couple of weird decisions per game. It’s ok to have one shortcoming but you can fix it.
