'I'm sick right now with myself' — Why did Rams' Sean McVay put more trust on an unreliable kicker over Matthew Stafford's arm?

Sean McVay’s decision in overtime on Monday night left the Rams relying on a 48‑yard field‑goal attempt by 24‑year‑old kicker Harrison Mevis instead of letting MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford try for a first down. After a handoff to running back Kyren Williams resulted in a quick tackle, Bills linebacker Greg Rousseau blocked Mevis’ kick, and Buffalo’s Josh Allen then drove the offense into range for a 45‑yard Tyler Bass field goal that sealed a 37‑34 win for the Bills.

The loss dropped Los Angeles to 2‑3 on the season after a series of early setbacks, including a season‑opening defeat in Australia, a blown 16‑point halftime lead against Denver, and a fourth‑quarter comeback loss to Philadelphia. The Rams, once projected as Super Bowl favorites, have struggled to meet expectations, and McVay admitted he felt “sick” with himself over the questionable play call.
