It was understandable that Rams coach Sean McVay second-guessed himself on multiple occasions in the final minutes of Sunday night’s drama-filled NFC championship game against the Seahawks.
McVay sprinted toward the end zone before a critical fourth down as if he contemplated calling a timeout, before ultimately riding with Matthew Stafford regardless of what he noticed on the field. Stafford’s pass was broken up by cornerback Devon Witherspoon to keep it a four-point game with five minutes left in regulation, but at least McVay had all his timeouts after trusting what he had seen countless times—the future Hall of Famer coming through in the clutch.
