Sean McVay: I have a lot of confidence in Kyren Williams
The Rams held on for a 28-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday, but the final margin of victory likely would have been a good lot higher if not for a pair of miscues by running back Kyren Williams.
Williams lost a fumble inside the Commanders’ 10-yard-line early in the second quarter and then lost another one in Washington territory with less than two minutes to go in the first half. There are times when coaches might bench a player who doubled up on giveaways, but Rams head coach Sean McVay did not go that route.
Williams carried 27 times for 152 yards and a touchdown in a win that placed the Rams into playoff position in the NFC. When it was finished, McVay said he has “a lot of confidence” in Williams despite the fumbles.
“I love the way that he finished the game out,” McVay added, via the team’s website. “It’s always about your response and so he’ll learn from it and he’s the type of guy that has the right football character, the right mindset and mentality to be able to use these things as learning ops push forward in a positive way. And he still made big time contributions to this game in a constructive way.”
The Rams also missed a field goal on Sunday and fixing up those mistakes will be essential since they won’t be so readily pushed under the rug against more capable opposition.
