"In the kicking game, especially with our PAT, field goal, not even close to good enough," coach Sean McVay said after the loss. "It cost us the game tonight." The Rams have had three blocked field goal attempts since the start of last season, tied for the most in the NFL, according to ESPN Research. The Rams have had 81 missed or blocked kicks under McVay (since 2017, including playoffs), which is third most in the league.
