On the offensive side, McVay acknowledged the unit’s struggles to capitalize on scoring opportunities, stating, “We need to be more efficient in the red zone and finish drives with touchdowns instead of field goals.” He commended wide receiver Puka Nacua’s performance, who amassed 129 receiving yards, calling it “a bright spot in our passing game.”
Looking ahead to the Week 18 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, McVay emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and building on the current momentum. He remarked, “Every game is critical at this juncture. We must prepare with the same intensity and attention to detail to achieve our goals.”
In conclusion, McVay expressed confidence in his team’s ability to address shortcomings and continue their pursuit of the NFC West title, stating, “I believe in our players and coaching staff. We’ll learn from this game and strive to improve as we move forward.”
The Rams’ upcoming game against the Seahawks will be pivotal in determining their playoff positioning, and McVay’s focus remains on ensuring his team is prepared for the challenges ahead.
