It's never easy to be the NFL head coach after a loss. But it's excruciatingly difficult to be the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams after losing to an outmanned San Francisco 49ers team in prime time in front of a national audience.
Making matters worse, in the press conference immediately after the heartbreaking loss, head coach Sean McVay had to own a controversial call during the game that contributed to the defeat.
To be fair, there was plenty of blame to go around. This was a game of little pass rush, one-sided officiating that used quick whistles and blind eyes to affect the outcome of the game, and another game of not-so-special special teams play.
