The date of Feb. 3, 2019 is one Los Angeles Rams fans have tried to forget in recent years. It was the date the Rams lost to the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl in Sean McVay’s second season, giving Tom Brady his sixth ring.
With McVay having an opportunity to avenge his loss in Super Bowl LIII three years ago, the young head coach explained what is different in his second Super Bowl appearance.
“I think it’s just experience. I think being able to learn from all those other things that have occurred. If you really work hard at something, I think you give yourself a chance to get better,” McVay said. “But I also realize it’s about being surrounded by great people. We got great players. We got really good coaches. But I just think that experience that you accumulate – both the good and the bad – and use it as learning opportunities, and making sure that you try to do everything in your power to put our players in the right position, structure the week and practices and the game plans in a manner that’s reflective of accentuating these player skill sets, letting them go out and play with the quieted mind. But the experience thing I would say is the biggest difference.”
