Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay spoke Monday following the team's 30-26 loss to the Denver Broncos. McVay noted that the Rams will not use a controversial defensive pass interference call as an excuse for the defeat. The call occurred late in the game when cornerback Josh Wallace intercepted a pass, which was negated by officials citing interference. McVay stated, "We're not going to play the victim card" and emphasized missed opportunities throughout the game. The Rams, now 1-2, face the Philadelphia Eagles next, likely without cornerback Jaylen Watson, who injured his shoulder against the Broncos. Tight end Terrance Ferguson is also expected to miss the Eagles game due to an ankle sprain.
