A resurgence in 2017 has given the Rams high expectations for 2018. Running back Todd Gurley says that he and his teammates aren’t paying attention to that.
In four-plus seasons with the Rams, he won just 31 games, failing to reach the postseason each year. He won seven games three out of the five years he was there, never posting a winning record. As a result, his name became almost synonymous with 7–9.
McVay won the Coach of the Year award as the youngest head coach in NFL history in 2017. Enough said, right? The guy crushed it at Head Coach Ranking when it came to in-game adjustments, game-planning, utilizing personnel and play-calling, which explains why the Rams had the highest-scoring offense in football.
