Rams’ McVay and Stafford lament missed opportunities as they fall short of Super Bowl
January 25, 2026
Sean McVay had zero interest in discussing whether Matthew Stafford, his soon-to-be 38-year-old quarterback, will be back for the Los Angeles Rams next year. McVay had a bit more to say about how his team came up short against the Seattle Seahawks yet again on Sunday, losing 31-27 in the NFC championship game. The Rams lost twice in a two-month span at Seattle, falling 38-37 in December when the Seahawks converted two 2-point conversions in regulation and a third in overtime. This loss denied the Rams a chance of winning the franchise’s third Super Bowl and the second and five years for McVay and Stafford.
