"It was a good shot, but I’m OK," McVay said.

He added, "It probably looked worse when you end up playing it, but I was glad I didn’t break my jaw."

The mistake underscored just how tough the Rams’ season has been as they had initially hoped to defend their Super Bowl title. This season has turned into a nightmare.

Los Angeles lost Sunday’s game to Kansas City, 26-10. It’s the Rams’ fifth straight loss and the longest of McVay’s tenure. Los Angeles dropped to 3-8 and joined the 1987 New York Giants has the only other team to start with that record after they won the Super Bowl title.

The Giants, however, did it amid a strike year using several weeks of replacement players.

Los Angeles has been using a ton of backups themselves this season. Star wide receiver Cooper Kupp hit the injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain while quarterback Matthew Stafford was ruled out before the game. Wide receiver Allen Robinson was ruled out for the remainder of the season after a CT scan revealed that he suffered a stress fracture in his foot.
