“The trap” set by Sean McVay that Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald spoke about before the season is set for this weekend. Which under-40 head coach is going to be the bait?
The only other time that McVay and Macdonald have faced each other as coordinators was Baltimore’s 37-31 OT win over the Rams in 2023, a win for Macdonald as the Ravens defensive coordinator. Macdonald tasted victory, but McVay wasn’t left hungry: L.A.’s 410 yards was the second-most the Ravens allowed last season as the #1 defense, Matthew Stafford’s 282 passing yards was the second-highest tally against Baltimore, and 24 first downs was the most that Macdonald’s defense allowed.
