Rams' McVay impressed with Goff's game-winning drive
The Los Angeles Rams needed a game-deciding drive from Jared Goff to win a shootout on Monday night over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Trailing by four points with just under three minutes left, Goff delivered a 75-yard drive to give the Rams their 54-51 win.
"He was awesome, especially in the last drive," McVay said, according to Pro Football Talk's Curtis Crabtree. "You talk about, I think it was a six-play drive, they were mixing in some two-man (coverage) and then going into a little bit of an invert and he was just finding the right completion. Guys were separating but it’s just one of those deals where the offensive line was doing a great job protecting especially against some elite rushers up front and guys creating separation and he’s got to put it on the money."
On the touchdown that sealed the Rams' victory, their quarterback connected with three different receivers before hitting tight end Gerald Everett along the sideline with a 40-yard bomb.
"So many guys made plays today but I thought Jared’s poise and confidence, ability to respond when it wasn’t always pretty especially in some instances is why you love him and why he’s such a great quarterback because of that even-keeled demeanor and disposition and that poise that we always talk about," McVay said.
Goff completed 31 of his 49 pass attempts for 413 yards and five touchdowns, including one on the ground.
