LOS ANGELES — Sean McVay looked and sounded very much like somebody who had been up all night celebrating his first Super Bowl victory when the coach showed up early Monday morning to discuss his Los Angeles Rams' hometown coronation.
“It's an incredible honor to be here,” McVay said, his sandpaper rasp accentuating his sarcasm. “It's also torturous to have a team win a championship and then make you come the next morning to a press conference this early.”
With the Rams 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, McVay finally has reached the culmination of a journey he began in early 2017 as the youngest head coach in modern NFL history.
