Sean McVay is supposed to be an offensive genius. Jared Goff has a $134 million contract.
In a game that decided the NFC West championship, McVay and Goff helped the Rams get nine points. In their biggest game of the year, the Rams didn’t reach double digits. It’s not like the Seahawks’ defense is the 2000 Baltimore Ravens, either.
Goff was not good and McVay wasn’t too impressive either. The game was winnable. The Seahawks’ offense didn’t do much. The Rams’ defense did its part. But Seattle’s improved defense had some huge plays and led the way to a 20-9 win that clinched an NFC West championship.
