At the end of a 31-14 game, Sean McVay opted to keep his starters on the field against the 49ers. Even worse, he called a screen pass to Cooper Kupp, putting him unnecessarily in harm’s way during a blowout.

Hopefully it’s nothing serious because he’s the team’s most productive player on offense. And if he’s lost for any period of time because he was catching passes in a blowout, it’s going to be a terrible look for the Rams and McVay.
Kupp caught eight passes for 79 yards and a touchdown in the Rams’ 17-point loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
