🔥 Sean McVay was blunt after the game: “It was costly.” Xavier Smith’s muffed punt wasn’t just an individual mistake — it became a brutal turning point in the matchup. In the moment of highest pressure, a brief lapse in focus completely shifted the momentum and handed the opponent a valuable advantage. McVay didn’t place blame, but calling it “costly” said everything about its impact. Elite football is unforgiving: the smallest details can decide the biggest outcomes. For the Rams, it’s a painful lesson learned — and for Xavier Smith, a true mental test to respond, reset, and come back stronger from a heartbreaking mistake. 🏈🔥
