Jason Smith: "In a year, the Rams went from being the oldest team in the NFL to one of the 3 youngest. Yes, Matthew Stafford is older, but he's still playing at a really high level. But it all comes down to this, I will take Sean McVay in a game against Kevin O'Connell until O'Connell can show me he can win a big game. I'll take McVay next week over Nick Sirianni, because I know what McVay does in big games. Not that Sirianni hasn't won these games before, but in this chess match, I'll take the coach against the team that struggled to score points yesterday. They lost their home field, go to Arizona, and this was the effort they gave. The Vikings never caught up the entire game. This is a Sean McVay and Chris Shula masterclass, and this is why he's the best coach in the NFL."
Jason Smith and Mike Harmon react to the Los Angeles Rams beating the Minnesota Vikings in the final game of the Wild Card Round. The guys praise the coaching efforts of Sean McVay and his staff, who kept his team composed and competitive through a restless week in Los Angeles, leading the team to another playoff victory over a team with a better record.
