Fortunately, Jalen Ramsey came through with a clutch interception to save the game, but there was far too much stress induced by a near-implosion. Sean McVay echoed the feelings of just about every Rams fan after the game, saying he needed a couple of adult beverages.
“Holy hell, I need a couple drinks,” he said with a smile.
McVay admitted he probably would’ve been grumpy and frustrated after a win like this in years past, but he’s matured and learned that a win’s a win and he’ll take them any way he can get them.
The Rams are 1-1 and that’s all that matters – even if they do have “a lot of things” to clean up, as McVay put it.
