Sean McVay's aggressive coaching philosophy spectacularly backfired. The Los Angeles Rams are now locked out of contention for the NFC's top seed after a controversial decision in Week 5 that the head coach later admitted was 'a bad call'.
The Rams, despite being arguably the best team in the NFC West, find themselves stuck in third place. They are headed to the playoffs as either the 5 or 6 seed, all because McVay refused to even consider a tie against the San Francisco 49ers in overtime on 3 October.
