The 11-4 Los Angeles Rams locked up a playoff berth more than a week ago. And yet, the team has not been complacent. LA's special teams have been horrendous this year, leading to the mid-season firing of special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn.
It is heartbreaking to grasp that the team's four losses this season have been partially due to a breakdown in special teams play.
Head coach Sean McVay was visibly incensed during his TNF post-game press conference.
The need to make a change reached such a critical mass that Blackburn was shown the door mid-season, the first time that Coach McVay has ever made a mid-season firing.
