The Los Angeles Rams suffered a dramatic loss to their NFC West rival in the 2025 NFL Playoffs, and head coach Sean McVay was not satisfied after the game.
After a narrow 31-27 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, reporters quickly turned their attention to what the Rams will do next season.

However, Sean McVay wasn’t too happy with an issue involving star quarterback Matthew Stafford. While the reporter’s question was entirely fair, the Rams head coach was outraged by it during his postgame press conference.

“What the hell is the issue if he still wants to play,” Sean McVay said. “You have to ask [Stafford]. We’re totally there… He’s the MVP of the league, if he wasn’t. I respect other people, but this guy’s level of play is like no other. “
Assuming Stafford does return in 2026, Los Angeles should have the same success. McVay has built a star-studded offense led by Kyren Williams, Pooka Nakua and Davante Adams.
