“Mathematically, you still give yourself a chance,” Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday as he and his players tried to quickly erase their memories of an embarrassing loss to the Dallas Cowboys. If all of that happens, the Rams will avoid missing the playoffs for the first time in McVay’s three seasons. On Monday, Rams players sounded as if they were taking a page from the day-after playbook they utilized after the Baltimore Ravens routed them in late November on “Monday Night Football.” The Rams quickly put the defeat behind and came back six days later to defeat the Chicago Bears, creating optimism for a run to the playoffs. McVay said the Rams were in the process of reviewing potential free-agent kickers in case Zuerlein does not play. “There’s been a lot of different things that have occurred this season,” McVay said.
