znModeratorfrom Rams, Seahawks don’t seem quite right. 49ers are rolling, but can it last? Sando’s Pick Six
https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7662134/2026/10/05/rams-seahawks-49ers-nfc-west-pick-six/
Mike Sando
Coach Sean McVay gathered his Los Angeles Rams offense around him on the sideline in Philadelphia and delivered a pep talk that saved the season. It’s a fit-for-Hollywood script that may or may not reflect the facts.
McVay wasn’t acting when he ran — or whatever that hop-and-skip was — down the sideline and jumped onto safety Quentin Lake’s back as the Rams sealed a 24-20 victory over the Eagles.
It seemed excessive for a coach of McVay’s stature in Week 4, but it’s been that kind of season already for the team that preseason oddsmakers considered the strongest favorite, by far, to win another championship.
The Pick Six column checks in with the 2-2 Rams, 3-1 Seattle Seahawks and 4-0 San Francisco 49ers as these NFC West rivals position themselves for the second quarter of this season. The 49ers were supposed to fade, but they’ve been the sharpest of the three all season, with a Week 5 trip to Seattle next.
San Francisco has the strongest offensive case, Seattle the strongest defensive case, and L.A. the clearest opportunities to improve by reducing mistakes and adding personnel.
Something’s off with the Rams: Some who know McVay suspected from afar that something has been bothering him this season. They thought he seemed too cranky over traveling around the world for the opener in Australia. After McVay cut short his news conference following last week’s loss in Denver, they noticed he tacked on an apology at the end of another media session, as if asked to do so.
When news broke that Kirk Herbstreit’s new deal with Amazon gave the company an out if McVay became available, anyone who recalled the McVay broadcasting rumors five years ago was justified in wondering, wait, who wanted that little nugget out there?
It has felt like a lot, which is why McVay’s jubilation in Philly fit the moment. The victory might let this team breathe a little.
“Still feel good about them,” an exec from another team said. “They have the best player in the league at quarterback — when (Matthew) Stafford is on, he’s as good as (Patrick) Mahomes or better. They haven’t had a game with the two defenders (Aaron Donald, Myles Garrett) full speed yet. And their defense still looks pretty good.”
The Rams rank third in defensive expected points added per play and allowed zero third-down conversions on 12 opportunities against the Eagles. On offense, the ground game appears strong (5.1 yards per carry on designed rushes), but there are issues elsewhere.

Stafford has started fast only twice in six seasons with the Rams: in 2021, when the team won the Super Bowl, and last season, when he won MVP, only for catastrophic problems on special teams and at cornerback to derail the Rams at Seattle in the NFC Championship Game.
Stafford had 19 touchdowns with four interceptions through the first four games of those outlier 2021 and 2025 Rams seasons. He has 15 touchdowns with 19 interceptions through the first four games of the other four Rams seasons, including six apiece to start this season.
Should we really assume 2025 MVP Stafford to be the norm? He tossed no touchdowns with two picks against the Eagles on Sunday.
As for the Rams’ special teams, they finished Sunday with -10.8 EPA, worst in the league for Week 4. The Rams rank 31st in special teams EPA per play (-0.20). McVay promised before the season he’d commit to special teams more. He promised those units would deliver better. So far, not so good.
October 6, 2026 at 8:45 pm #166693znModeratorThe Rams were facing another letdown. Then their championship foundation kicked in
Nate Atkins
PHILADELPHIA — It was the middle of the third quarter and Lincoln Financial Field was soggy, bodies kept dropping, the Philadelphia Eagles crowd kept roaring and time was ticking toward another Los Angeles Rams loss.
With nothing to lean on except internal belief, Rams defenders took the field under a mantra they hold tight when the world around them shakes.
“Make them snap it one more time,” captains Quentin Lake and Kobie Turner always say.
Perhaps it’s never too late for this team to seize momentum from the crushing jaws of disappointment. Not when the track record of climbing out of holes is this entrenched, when the coach on the sideline is Sean McVay, and the man ready to take the snap is the one who keeps doing this time and again, age be damned.
After the Rams pressured Jalen Hurts to force a ball that this time couldn’t find Darius Cooper in the end zone, reigning MVP Matthew Stafford took the field at his own 2-yard line, with Eagles fans bearing down from the end zone stands behind him and with an offense that didn’t have anything sustainable going on to that point.
Two vintage Stafford fourth-quarter touchdown drives later, that same Rams defense salted the game away with ferocious sacks into the soggy turf for a 24-20 comeback victory over the Eagles.
“You’ve gotta be s—ting me,” McVay said after the game.
Rams orchestrate 4th quarter comeback to shock Eagles
If a team is going to rise through an early hole with seemingly nothing going according to plan, it has to believe in something. As Rams defenders kept taking the field for one third-down stop after another — 12 in total, out of 12 chances — that belief manifested in what could still arrive since they’ve seen it so many times before.
“It’s the trust we have in Matt,” safety Kam Kinchens said. “Just give him an opportunity. That’s what we kept saying on the sidelines: ‘Just give him an opportunity.’”
Stafford knew who would steady the ship as it rocked and swayed. From his own 2-yard line, he threw a pair of short passes to Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua. Soon, Stafford was finding Nacua for a 32-yard gain and handing off to Williams on a stretch run to the left sideline, where an extra shove from Eagles cornerback Jonathan Jones inspired something extra in the emotional heartbeat of the Rams offense.
“I hate the Eagles,” Williams said on this field nearly one year ago, right after his team blew a 26-7 lead and lost after back-to-back blocked field goals.
Williams and Nacua became the forces for Stafford to stabilize a day that was quickly turning into one of his worst. He overthrew two passes for interceptions before halftime, leading to 10 Eagles points on a day with little scoring. He couldn’t get his offense settled or into a rhythm, as penalties kept ending drives and a pass-heavy script wasn’t producing the explosive plays they searched for.
But he kept going, thanks to a defense that lived all afternoon with its back against the wall and did again after Williams’ 1-yard touchdown plunge cut the deficit to a field goal. Harrison Mevis booted the ball out of bounds to give the Eagles possession at their own 40 with 3:59 to go, and another three-and-out got the ball back to Stafford with three minutes left.
“The motivation for us this week was to be able to finish,” Lake said. “You’ve just got to have that belief.”

Stafford started to spam Nacua on the final drive after Eagles star cornerback Quinyon Mitchell left the game in the third quarter with a knee injury. The two found a defensive pass interference call, and then gains of 7, 16 and 12 yards as Nacua turned back into the battering ram he was before the two-week absence temporarily threw his timing off.Three straight Williams runs finally put the Rams on top, the final one from 7 yards out, where he took a stretch run, stiff-armed one Eagles defender, carried two more and dove to the pylon for the game-winning score.
“The play came in outside zone, and I’m like, ‘Say less,’” Williams said. “This is my opportunity to go make something happen.”
This was a moment for all of the Rams to go and make something happen. Because another narrative was forming quickly, like the rain that drizzled and the puddles that sloshed under their feet. They were the sounds of disappointment around the NFL’s latest team to be surrounded by hype and learning that a target on the back can be hard to live with.
For more than three quarters, the Rams looked like a mixture of old, hobbled and discombobulated. They had 100 yards in penalties, two Stafford interceptions and almost no momentum.
But in crunch time, they looked like the team they dreamed to be, even without Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald wrecking the game. And that checks out, too, because these Rams had the Super Bowl favorite tag before either of those former defensive players of the year even arrived.
Those expectations were based on a quarterback returning for his 18th season, fresh off of his first MVP award. It was built on Nacua and Davante Adams creating one of the league’s top wide receiver duos, an offensive line returning all of its continuity, a physical running back in Williams, one of the game’s best coaches in McVay and a deep pass rush, plus the arrival of two-time All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie to the position that held the Rams just short of the Super Bowl in January.
Where has that team been for much of the early part of this season? The glass can be half-full or half-empty, depending on where you focus.
On one hand, this team keeps struggling with penalties, some self-inflicted and others rather questionable in how they’re officiated. Nacua appeared to be interfered with on Stafford’s second interception, which quickly turned into an Eagles touchdown before halftime, their final points of the game. But the pendulum did swing back in the fourth quarter as penalties doomed Philadelphia, and a couple of those were questionable, too.
The Rams have special teams issues, from penalties to Mevis missing a field goal and kicking it out of bounds to a punt unit that allowed a 41-yard return by Britain Covey, setting up Cooper’s acrobatic touchdown catch over Lake in the second quarter.
They also face a question of how to get Nacua and Adams synced up in the same game. After Adams went off for 332 yards in two games without Nacua before this, he struggled with a pair of drops on Sunday and finished with four catches for 32 yards, though he was at his best in the fourth quarter.
But the Rams have looked like a team whose travel schedule, combined with a slew of injuries, has left them searching early in the season. This was the Rams’ third road game and second long trip in the first four, and beyond the injuries to Donald and Garrett, they were without tight ends Terrance Ferguson and Colby Parkinson, which made them ditch the three-tight end sets that opened last year’s offense up to finish No. 1 in scoring.
What they do still have is a foundation as powerful as any team.
They have a quarterback in Stafford, who, despite struggling so far with six interceptions in four games, still has the clutch gene to lead go-ahead fourth-quarter drives. Sunday presented his 40th career fourth-quarter comeback and 51st career game-winning drive.
“What I love is he doesn’t let some previous things that he could do differently affect his ability to say, ‘Let’s just be right here, right now,’” McVay said.
With the win, the Rams improve to 2-2. The Eagles lose their second straight and fall to 2-2.
They have rocks in Williams, who has 253 rushing yards and 149 receiving yards over the past three weeks; and Nacua, who turned in a typical performance in his first game back with nine catches for 125 yards. They have Adams, who, before Sunday, was off to the best three-game start to his illustrious 13-year career.And they have a defense that can play without Donald, Garrett or even cornerback Jaylen Watson and still shut down an opponent. Sunday’s effort came against an Eagles offense missing running back Saquon Barkley, who left the game with a first-quarter hamstring injury, wide receiver DeVonta Smith and left tackle Lane Johnson. But it was also notable in many ways: The Eagles’ 172 yards were their fewest in 12 years, and their zero third-down conversions on 12 attempts was the worst rate for any team since 2020.
That defense can keep blitzing, keep making plays on the ball and keep going when it knows no deficit is too much for Stafford and this offense to take a crack at.
It’s an imperfect model. It’s not all it was supposed to be in a Super Bowl-or-bust season. But it is a foundation to believe in until Garrett and Donald are back and a real identity and ceiling can take shape.
“Lots of gutsy efforts, and I have a headache from hell right now,” McVay said. “A lot of teams would have folded in those situations.”

How can Rams improve on special teams, and should Kyren Williams get more carries?Nate Atkins
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Rams finally got the monkey off their back by beating the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in a dramatic, 10-point fourth-quarter comeback.
They are 2-2 at the quarter pole of the season. It’s already been a year of highs and lows, hype and adversity, and they have 13 more games before a potential postseason run.
It’s a good time to take stock of the questions people have about a team with these kinds of expectations. And readers had plenty about special teams, Chris Shula’s defensive approach, Kyren Williams’ usage and why the rookies aren’t seeing the field much.
(Note: Questions have been edited for length and clarity.)
***
* Matthew Stafford threw over 50 passes in Weeks 3 and 4. For the season, Williams is averaging 5.4 yards per carry and has yet to reach 20 carries in a game. Why do you think Sean McVay has seemingly moved away from running the ball so far into the season? —
ATKINS: The main reason that jumps out is that it doesn’t feel like McVay has the personnel or the scheme to run the ball at the volume he would like right now, or the way they did late last season. If you remember, the Rams were the heaviest three-tight end offense in the league, and that culminated with Blake Corum’s second-half breakout.
Something feels off about how Corum is running in these single-tight-end sets over the past two weeks with Terrance Ferguson and Colby Parkinson hurt, and the playing time has shifted heavily to Williams, who outsnapped Corum 70-13 on Sunday.
Part of that is leaning into Williams, given how great he’s playing in every facet. Part of it is the blocking stress on the receivers, which was more challenging than usual in Puka Nacua’s first game back after two weeks off. But it’s notable that Corum started the year with 133 rushing yards on 11 carries per game in the first two weeks and has dropped to 29 yards on 5.5 carries per game the past two weeks.
Williams has emerged so much as a receiver that he’s this team’s de facto No. 3 option behind Nacua and Davante Adams, with 21 catches for 173 yards. Between that and his immense value as a pass protector to keep a 38-year-old Stafford upright, the Rams feel challenged to give him 20-plus carries in a game. So if they don’t have a quarterback rushing threat, Corum isn’t producing, and they don’t have a third running back they trust with Ronnie Rivers on injured reserve, the natural result will be a pass-heavy script.
One of three things has to change to shift the dynamic: Either a third pass catcher will need to emerge to limit Williams’ receiving touches, tight ends will need to get healthy to strengthen the hole for Corum, or Corum will need to improve as a runner in 11 personnel and as a pass-down option that doesn’t make the run so obvious when he’s on the field.
Ideally, the Rams will get a mix of all three in due time and return to the balanced, versatile juggernaut they were last season with the same starting unit.
* The special teams are especially bad again this year. Since multiple coaches have produced the same outcomes, what is lacking in Les Snead’s personnel decisions?
* What is wrong with our special teams? It was said to be McVay’s priority during the offseason, but we’re still ranked at the bottom of the league. … It will continue to haunt us all season. … How can they fix this? —
ATKINS: As you can see, many questions this week are about special teams. And it’s fitting because it’s the biggest long-term question the Rams face as they look to contend this season, especially after how their playoff run ended last season.
It’s been a tough start for Bubba Ventrone’s group in several notable areas. The Rams have given up punt returns of 28 and 41 yards, respectively, in the past two weeks to set up short touchdown drives. They released their starting punt returner, Xavier Smith, just one week ago. The seemingly steady rocks of Harrison Mevis and Ethan Evans have struggled some already this season. And penalties continue to pile up for this group.
Ventrone is still new, and he’s attacking different issues at a time. He put a lot of effort into correcting the field goal protection, and that has been the best part of the group so far. But seeing Mevis and Evans struggle despite the addition of veterans like cover man Grant Stuard and long snapper Joe Cardona is a tough swing, and those two will likely have to work through the early issues because it’s hard to find suitable in-season replacements.
I do wonder if Eric Kendricks, whom the Rams just signed to the practice squad, can become a factor on the coverage units as a game-day elevation. The 12th-year pro saw roughly double the playing time on special teams as on defense last year in three games with the San Francisco 49ers. In theory, more veterans playing on these units should mean increased technique to avoid penalties, though that only works if they can get in the right positions and not overcompensate.
The Rams could use a midseason trade for a return man like the Seattle Seahawks found last season with Rashid Shaheed. If not, I think they should try Dean Connors at kick returner, given the wiggle he showed in the preseason.
Ventrone’s success in this league has come with franchises that draft specifically for special teams needs on Day 3, such as in New England and Indianapolis. Without that same approach, his units weren’t as strong in Cleveland. I think the Rams’ front office should take a closer look at this in future drafts.
In the interim, a couple of personnel tweaks and simply playing better have to become the solution. Wholesale changes are hard to make in-season. The structure has to stabilize so confidence and baselines can rise. That will be the bet on Ventrone.
* What adjustment made Shula switch from mainly zone in Week 1 to more man and heavy blitzes? —
ATKINS: Week 1 was certainly a dud for the Rams’ defense — and for Shula specifically — but in hindsight, it was a feel-out game in some ways, like their version of the preseason. I think Shula learned a little more about his personnel in that game — both that the pass rush wouldn’t be the line-up-and-dominate four-man group we expected with a healthy Myles Garrett, and that Trent McDuffie really is that kind of lockdown man cornerback who changes the math on the back end.
Personnel has dictated it, too. The Rams faced Jameis Winston for much of Week 2, and the Eagles were without DeVonta Smith, which limited how much Shula had to fear getting beat deep. The risk in sending blitzes is the big plays that can happen if protection picks it up or a quarterback eludes pressure. That happened essentially once in the Eagles game, when Darius Cooper stole the ball over Quentin Lake for a touchdown catch.
I think we’ll see much more of a mix going forward, because the offensive personnel will rarely be as limited as Philadelphia’s was. The returns of Aaron Donald and eventually Garrett should change the need to blitz, as their presence already manipulates offenses to create one-on-one opportunities. But to gain the effect of unblocked rushers, they’ll need to blitz some, too.
* What’s going on with CJ Daniels and Max Klare not getting any time? — Mark R.
ATKINS: The reasons these two rookies combined for just one offensive snap in four games boil down to two areas: readiness in the scheme and special teams ability.
It’s rare for a rookie to get much playing time in this offense. It’s possible, of course, as Nacua came in and not only played but dominated with 105 catches for 1,486 yards and six touchdowns in 2023. But I think we know Nacua is an outlier. Corum and Ferguson went through this. Ty Simpson was drafted with this understanding in mind.
McVay runs a complex offense with motions, option routes and, now, a balance between one-receiver and three-receiver approaches. His offense demands physically versatile players — running backs who can run and catch, tight ends and wide receivers who can catch and block so they can bounce between these concepts and leave the keys of optionality to McVay and the man controlling the audibles in Stafford. It’s hard to trust too many rookies to adjust to that early on.
Because Daniels and Klare don’t have built-up special teams skill sets or experience yet, they can get lost when making the game-day roster. If the Rams have receiver injuries, they can activate more veteran tight ends and run three-tight end sets, and vice versa with tight end injuries.
Between the lack of trust in the offensive readiness and the lack of special teams juice, these kinds of players can fall into early redshirt scenarios on a team like this.

IMO? This is good. Of all the “Rams mail” postings over our years as Rams media consumers, Atkins gives the best responses.
You actually learn things from reading his mailboxes. There’s a good detail or 2 in every answer here.
October 13, 2026 at 10:32 pm #166890znModeratorRams yet again a Super Bowl contender that’s missing something essential
Nate Atkins
LOS ANGELES — They say football is a game of inches. For a Super Bowl contender on a national stage, those inches can feel the size of an elevator shaft between dreams and nightmares.
There the Los Angeles Rams were on “Monday Night Football” against the Buffalo Bills, grabbing hold of a rope ripping so fast through their fingers it could burn them right off. Matthew Stafford was dotting up the sidelines on the final drive of regulation, zipping a third-down pass that Kyren Williams grabbed from behind with one hand to set up his own game-tying touchdown run. Kam Kinchens was sprinting more than 21 miles per hour to clip the heel of Khalil Shakir, keeping the Bills receiver from an overtime touchdown. The play then allowed Nate Landman to punch the ball out and into the arms of Aaron Donald and give the Rams’ sideline life again.
Moments later, they let go of the rope. The Rams had a foot on the throat of a whimpering Bills defense with a third-and-5 at the Buffalo 30, only to run Williams into the wall of an all-out blitz. Kicker Harrison Mevis was left to boot the ball with all his might, but it was blocked by the Bills’ 6-foot-6 Greg Rousseau and fluttered into the end zone. Josh Allen then took over, using more signature scrambles to set up his team’s own field goal attempt that cleared the uprights for a 37-34 Buffalo win.
“I’m sick,” coach Sean McVay said. “It’s been a while since I’ve been this pissed after a game.”
The Rams posted a 99th-percentile offensive EPA per drive on Monday night. They became the first team in NFL history to amass 400 offensive yards, 30 first downs, five touchdowns and a 50 percent third-down conversion rate with no turnovers and lose a game, per Opta Stats.
Was this a Super Bowl preview between the Bills and Rams, a setup for Round 2 back at SoFi Stadium in February? Or was this actually a window into how no amount of superstar talent can save a team with an Achilles’ heel on special teams?
That is the question after a crushing loss that dropped the Rams to 2-3. Left tackle Alaric Jackson threw a right hook at Bills outside linebacker Bradley Chubb before he left the field. And McVay stewed about a loss that felt all too much like last season.
Only McVay did something different after he left the podium this time. He took a lap around the locker stalls, pinging from position to position, where, in between choice words, he thanked players for their fight and told them he felt sick with the result.
“That just tells me how much he cares and how much I want to get this right so he can be even more proud of us,” cornerback Trent McDuffie said. “It makes you want to fight a little bit harder.
“We didn’t win in the big moment. It’s going to hurt.”
Asked if he regretted not going for a two-point conversion and the win after Williams’ 1-yard touchdown plunge with five seconds remaining in regulation, McVay simply said, “No.”
The decision that did stick with him was running Williams into a zero blitz on that third-and-5, right after Stafford hit his 40th completion for Puka Nacua’s franchise-record 17th catch.
“I’ll be regretting kicking that and not having a better play to be able to go for it on third down or go to fourth (down),” McVay said. “That’s on me.”
The Rams went toe-to-toe with Allen and arguably the AFC’s best team, staying upright despite the self-inflicted wounds. Kinchens’ shoestring tackle on Shakir, Landman’s latest punchout, Donald’s throwback Defensive Player of the Year performance, and the way Stafford and Nacua became unstoppable once again all had the Rams well positioned to win. Stafford finished 40-of-54 for 383 yards, three touchdowns, zero turnovers and a 111.9 rating. Nacua turned his 17 receptions into 138 yards and a touchdown.
“In my opinion, if he’s not the greatest thrower in football, he’s number two, and he’s an absolute stud,” Allen said of Stafford.
There was also the pass defense, which has successfully remade itself around a bona fide superstar in McDuffie. Another heroic Williams performance in crunch time and Davante Adams scoring two touchdowns, giving him 18 scores in 19 regular-season games in a Rams uniform, helped immensely.
But those mistakes did the Rams in, along with a run defense that got exposed for the first time in weeks, with Allen and James Cook combining for 232 yards and three touchdowns on 6.6 yards per carry. Defensive coordinator Chris Shula paid for selling out to take away the deep ball, at times leaving easy scramble lanes for Allen. And so, the finality awakens a familiar feeling: a shootout, followed by the sound of a kick hitting a defender’s hand.
“We know what we have at quarterback,” guard Steve Avila said. “When we have an offense that can move like we do, we have trust in every situation that we can get it done. We just fell short on special teams.”
The Rams are talented enough to go up against anybody, yet they’re still being held back from being the superteam its collection of stars says it should be.
In Week 5 last season against the San Francisco 49ers, the Rams lost in overtime on missed kicks and a decision to take the ball out of a red-hot Stafford’s hands to run Williams into a brick wall. They channeled that loss into fuel for a six-game winning streak and a run to the NFC Championship Game.
“You use it as motivation,” Williams said. “You use it as something you can fall back on when it’s later in the season and you’re going through more adversity. It’s how you choose to handle it that’s going to make you better at the end of the day.”
These Rams have a chance to go on a similar run in the next five weeks. They will play the Arizona Cardinals twice, the Las Vegas Raiders, the Los Angeles Chargers and the Washington Commanders. The Rams expect to get reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett back during that stretch, too.
What they must figure out if they want to make another Super Bowl in their home stadium is the same old conundrum: the special teams. Those issues range from penalties to explosive returns allowed to missed field goals, including the two Mevis missed Monday night.
“I felt like I hit it good. That’s all I can tell you. I thought I gave it a chance,” Mevis said of the overtime attempt. “… I know who I am. I know the mentality that I have as a kicker. I have a next-kick mentality, and I’ll respond in the next game.”
The Rams know this isn’t the season to work through issues too patiently.
“I’m going to evaluate everything,” McVay said of his kicking game.
Problems on special teams can be the hardest for a team to fix in-season. It involves many moving parts resulting from roster construction. The league doesn’t have proven and consistent kickers, punters and return men looking for jobs in October. Rarely does a coordinator change work with such an undertaking, either.
The Rams can tweak the starting spots and must explore trade opportunities like Seattle did last year to acquire star return man Rashid Shaheed. But this is a dilemma that has haunted McVay throughout his head-coaching career.
The Rams know who they are and who they aren’t by now: thrilling on the high end and terrifying in the details amid a season as important as this one.
“It hurts so much,” Avila said, “because of the expectations we have for ourselves and what we know we can do as a team.”
