At the onset of the season, few coaches were as celebrated as the Rams Sean McVay. Indeed, McVay’s former and current young assistants became the hottest coaching prospects in the game. So far this year McVay and the Rams have had a heaping helping of humble pie. LA’s NFL betting loss in the Super Bowl to the Patriots seemed to have cracked McVay’s code. Los Angeles is fighting desperately for a wild card spot. In the same way, Chicago’s Matt Nagy has gone from the penthouse to the outhouse in just one year. Lack of offense is why.
