In overtime against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5 of the 2025 season, McVay elected to go for a game-winning touchdown on 4th & 1 at the 11-yard line rather than kick a tying field goal. The decision to put the ball in Kyren Williams's hands rather than Matthew Stafford drew immense criticism; the Rams ran a straightforward inside run into a stacked defensive front and were stuffed, resulting in a 26-23 loss that dropped the Rams to 3-2.

Facing fourth-and-1 at the San Francisco 11-yard line, McVay elected to go for the game-winning touchdown rather than kick the tying field goal. Instead of using motion, misdirection, or one of the creative concepts that define his offense, the Rams ran a straightforward inside run into a stacked defensive front. I personally was okay with going for it on 4th & 1 against but it was the decision to put the ball in Kyren Williams's hands rather than Matthew Stafford that drew immense criticism.
