Amid Rams’ cursed season, Sean McVay is happy for Jared Goff and Kevin O’Connell

LA Times  

Rams coach Sean McVay talks with quarterback Baker Mayfield in the second half against the Green Bay Packers in Green Bay, Wis., on Monday. As the Rams’ lost season took yet another downward turn Tuesday — center Brian Allen and receiver Ben Skowronek will not play in the final three games because of calf injuries — coach Sean McVay looked around the NFL to see former Rams coaches and players flourishing. Kevin O’Connell, the Rams’ offensive coordinator the previous two seasons, is enjoying success as coach of the Minnesota Vikings, and quarterback Jared Goff is playing well in his second season with the Detroit Lions. “Gives me a smile in spite of all the challenges we’ve been through.” In January 2021, the Rams traded Goff, two first-round draft picks and a third-round pick to the Lions for quarterback Matthew Stafford. “He’s done a good job of getting a lot of opportunities to continue to mature and grow as a receiver and really a complete player on this team,” McVay said.
