Sean McVay frustrated with kicker Harrison Mevis after missed field goals in OT loss to Bills, will 'evaluate everything'

Harrison Mevis missed both of his field goal looks on Monday night, including a potential game-winner in overtime.

After their surprising overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay expressed his frustration with the team's kicking game, including kicker Harrison Mevis' poor performance. Mevis missed both of his field goal attempts, including a potential game-winner in the extra period, which cost the Rams the game. "The kicking game, especially with our PAT field goal, not even close to good enough," McVay said. "It cost us the game tonight ... I'm going to evaluate everything."

This level of outrage from McVay is unprecedented. He blames himself for the conservative third and five call in overtime and for not trusting Mevis to make the crucial field goal. The missed 48-yard field goal was blocked, handing the Bills the ball back and eventually leading to Tyler Bass' game-winning field goal. Mevis defended his kick, saying, "I hit it good, that s all I can tell you," but it only fueled McVay's disappointment, especially since it contributed to the team's loss.

Mevis is in his second season with the Rams, having been signed last year after a stint in the UFL following an undrafted year out of Missouri. While he has made five of his nine field goal attempts this season and is perfect on extra points, he has missed three of his last four attempts. It remains to be seen if McVay will ultimately make changes to the kicking position, given the team's recent struggles.
