Sean McVay made it clear throughout the week that he and the Rams were not going to overlook the Patriots despite their 6-6 record and sputtering offense. And based on the way L.A. played Thursday night, that was very clear.
The Rams crushed the Patriots 24-3 at SoFi Stadium, earning their ninth win of the season. And after the victory, McVay was understandably fired up in the locker room. The Rams didn’t share a video of his postgame speech to the players, but they did post an audio clip.
He handed out game balls to a pair of players and sent the team home for their mini-bye week.
Have a listen.
"GIVE ME A WOO!"

It’s no surprise that Kenny Young and Cam Akers got game balls from McVay. Akers rushed for 171 yards, while Young had a pick-six and a sack on Cam Newton.
“First game ball, picking off a screen, going to the crib, great block by Jalen (Ramsey). Great job, Kenny!” McVay yelled.
“Talk about a physical game. offensive line set the line of scrimmage. Tight ends, wide receivers. Went for 170-plus on the ground. Give it up for Cam Akers,” he continued.
They’re deserving of praise from the coach and fans everywhere because their performances helped lift the Rams to victory in Week 14.
