One of the best parts about Rams wins are the victory speeches that come from Sean McVay in the locker room afterwards. He always knows how to fire up the room after a win, usually handing out game balls to standout players or those who deserve some recognition for one reason or another.
After the Rams beat the Cardinals 31-24 on Sunday afternoon, McVay rallied the locker room one last time in 2019. He didn’t hand out any game balls, but he did mention the defense creating a bunch of turnovers, as well as Jared Goff putting together a great performance.
To break it down, he called upon Andrew Whitworth, who’s a nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.
“Cannot say enough – we talked about finishing,” McVay said. “That says a lot about you guys. Being able to have four turnovers by the defense. Offensively, being able to respond time in and time out, give it up for Jared Goff – three touchdowns, 300 yards. Very appreciative of you guys. We’ll have a team meeting tomorrow and who better to close it than the guy that started it out in this locker room for this game. Give it up for Whitworth, man.”
The Rams will head into the offseason with plenty of questions to answer and a lot of decisions to make, but they do so with the core of the team still intact and McVay still at the helm.
They came up short in 2019, but there’s little doubt about the talent that the Rams possess for the future.
