INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Less than two years ago, Sean McVay became the youngest head coach to lead his team to the Super Bowl.
The big game was played in his hometown, and the Los Angeles Rams' opponents were led by one of his coaching idols.Everything was set up for the best day in an up-and-coming football coach's life.
It turned into the absolute worst, thanks to Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots.“It was a very humbling night for myself,” McVay said this week. “I didn’t think that I did nearly a good enough job for our football team to give us a chance to be crowned world champs.”McVay, Aaron Donald, Jared Goff and the many remaining Rams (8-4) get their first chance at a measure of atonement when they host Belichick’s Patriots.
