Sean McVay Rips Himself for Rams' Week 1 Australia Travel Plans: 'Sometimes You Have a Dumbass Coach'

McVay joked that the Rams’ late trip left them underprepared after a 27-7 loss, then praised a 28-6 rebound win over the Giants.

  • Following Monday's 28-6 win over the New York Giants, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay took responsibility for the team's disastrous travel strategy for their international game in Melbourne, Australia.
  • The Rams' decision to bracket 15-hour flights to Australia resulted in a 27-7 loss to San Francisco in Week 1, while their opponents arrived early to acclimate to local time.
  • Quarterback Matthew Stafford passed for over 300 yards and reached 426 career touchdown passes, placing him seventh all-time, while Aaron Donald returned to action for the first time in two years.
  • McVay jokingly called himself a "dumbass" for the scheduling error, stating, "Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn and sometimes you have a dumbass coach that makes travel plans that puts you in bad spots."
  • With travel mistakes behind them, Los Angeles shifts focus to Week 3, traveling to the Mile High City to face Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos on Sunday night.
