Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay says he is taking responsibility for issues that affected the team in its Week 1 game in Australia. After the Rams bounce back with a win over the New York Giants on Monday night, McVay discussed how planning decisions may have contributed to the team’s earlier struggles.
In postgame comments reported by Yahoo Sports and CBS Sports, McVay describes the travel plans as a “dumbass” mistake and says he attributes the Week 1 loss to the way those plans were handled. He frames the criticism as self-directed, indicating he accepts that his own coaching leadership played a role.
The outlets’ accounts align on the central point: McVay publicly criticizes the Australia travel planning and ties it to performance in Week 1, while noting that the Rams look stronger in Week 2. While they differ slightly in how they summarize his remarks, both report his message that the team’s preparation and travel logistics were factors he should have managed better.
