Los Angeles Rams tried an unconventional play late in the first half of the game when they were trailing the San Francisco 49ers by 21-7. Risking the possession of the ball, head coach Sean McVay decided to go for something out of the blue.

As the teams lined up for a field goal, holder Johnny Hekker pulled the ball before the kick and threw a pass to Kendall Blanton. Although the tight end got tackled by D. J. Jones before reaching the first-down marker, failing the plans to sneak in seven points in the scoreboard.

Sean McVay reflected upon his failure after the 31-10 loss to the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium and took responsibility for the call that could have given the Rams an easy three-point gain heading into the second half of the game.

“In hindsight, it wasn’t a good decision. So, you know, that’s my responsibility. It was something that we felt like we had a chance to work. They made the play, we didn’t, and that falls on my shoulders,” McVay told reporters.
