Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay said he was “sick” about his overtime decision after the team lost to the Buffalo Bills in a Week 5 Monday night game, according to remarks reported after the game.
The Rams had stopped Buffalo on the Bills’ first overtime possession. Los Angeles then drove to Buffalo’s 30-yard line, where McVay called a run for Kyren Williams on third-and-5. Williams gained no yards. The Rams attempted a field goal on fourth down, but Buffalo blocked it.
McVay said he wished he had called a better play on third down and moved the ball closer, or chosen to keep the offense on the field. He accepted responsibility for the decision and said he would regret the kick.
The source also reports that Washington Commanders coach Dan Quinn took responsibility for clock management in a game against the New York Giants, while Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni blamed himself for a late-game kickoff decision in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The coaches’ comments followed separate Week 5 games.
The report characterizes the coaches’ public statements as a broader moment of accountability, but does not provide additional details about the other teams’ decisions. The Rams-Bills result and McVay’s comments are presented in the context of that NFL season’s Week 5, not as a current event.
