While there may have been some jokes about concussions on Twitter, there was a genuine concern as the coach took a hit straight to his face without a helmet. However, the hilarity of the situation emerged after McVay was seen on the sidelines appearing fine and continued coaching. With the way the Rams’ season has been shaping up, they might need the coach more than ever. The team cannot afford to have another member of the Rams out due to injuries.
