Rams' Sean McVay fuming over special teams errors: 'It cost us the game tonight'

Key Points:

• Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay expressed intense frustration after his team lost 37-34 in overtime to the Buffalo Bills, primarily blaming a blocked 48-yard field goal in the final moments.
• McVay admitted the decision to attempt a long field goal with kicker Harrison Mevis, who had already missed a 50-yard kick and lacks a strong leg, was a critical mistake and vowed to reevaluate the kicking unit.
• The Rams' special teams have been a persistent weakness, allowing big returns and multiple blocked or missed kicks, with Monday's block marking their third since the start of 2025 and 81 such incidents during McVay's tenure.
• Despite quarterback Matthew Stafford's strong performance (383 yards, 3 TDs, no interceptions), the defense struggled against Buffalo's James Cook and Josh Allen, compounded by costly penalties that aided the Bills' scoring drives.
• The loss dropped the Rams to 2-3, trailing the division-leading San Francisco 49ers by 3.5 games, with McVay acknowledging the need for better decision-making and execution in special teams moving forward.
