Sean McVay has questioned play call that got Puka Nacua hurt 'over and over'
Sean McVay is "kicking" himself over the call that got Puka Nacua hurt on the final play of the game, saying he's questioned it "over and over."
On Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams emerged victorious, but they incurred a significant setback. Quarterback Sean McVay faced harsh criticism over a play call that resulted in Puka Nacua's injury. The final offensive snap featured a jet sweep to Nacua on third-and-11, which yielded only five yards. Despite its minimal yardage, the play allowed the clock to continue running, leading to a futile punt.
McVay acknowledged his regret over the decision, questioning it repeatedly during a press conference on Monday. He admitted to "kicking himself" for the choice, especially now that Nacua is projected to miss a month and be placed on injured reserve. McVay explained that the jet sweep was a throwaway play designed to extend the clock, but giving it to Nacua, who had already accumulated 15 touches before the play, was a poor decision.
