Sean McVay refused to let a productive opening drive that started on the Los Angeles Rams’ 5-yard line end on a sour note.
Instead of settling for a field goal, McVay kept the Rams’ offense on the field for a fourth-and-goal play from the New Orleans Saints’ 2-yard line. Puka Nacua, the star of Thursday’s victory, capped the 14-play, 95-yard drive with a two-yard touchdown reception.
The bold play helped the Rams maintain their offensive rhythm from the past month, while addressing a few red-zone concerns. Los Angeles has struggled at times this season to finish drives with touchdowns, most memorably during the loss to the Baltimore Ravens a few weeks back.
