Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said after Saturday night’s overtime loss to the Bears that it hurts to suffer a loss like that. “I’ve got to process what happened, how that happened and try to find ways for us to not put ourselves in these tough situations,” LaFleur said. “The

Immediately after Thursday night’s instant overtime classic between the Rams and Seahawks, Rams coach Sean McVay had questions about the nutty two-point conversion that tied the game at 30 in the fourth quarter.

The primary topic of Rams coach Sean McVay’s post-game press conference after the 38-37 loss to the Seahawks was receiver Puka Nacua. As it relates to the game itself, McVay addressed only one topic — the fluke two-point conversion decision that turned an incomplete pass into a fumble recovered by

The Rams have seized control of Thursday’s game in the second half and they’re on their way to seizing control of the conference. Matthew Stafford connected with Puka Nacua on a no-look, 1-yard touchdown pass to give Los Angeles a 30-14 lead over Seattle with 13:34 in the fourth quarter.
