Sean McVay: The Rams’ loss was humbling, it’s about how you react

Rams coach Sean McVay said after Sunday night’s 37-20 loss to the Eagles that all his team can do is bounce back.

“There are humbling nights like this in football,” Mcvay said. “It’s about how you respond. I know this team has the ability to respond and we’ll get off the mat and we’ll have a good week of preparation this week.”

The good news for the Rams is that at 5-6, they are just one game out of the NFC West, where all four teams are tightly locked with the Seahawks and Cardinals at 6-5 and the 49ers tied with the Rams at 5-6. If the Rams get off the mat, the division title is right there for them to take.

But it’s been a frustrating season for McVay’s team, and Sunday night showed just how big a gap there is between the Rams and the top teams in the NFC.
