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.

Williams stuffed on controversial 4th & 1 call in OT vs 49ers; Rams lost 26-23.

In Week 5 of the 2025 season against the San Francisco 49ers, McVay faced fourth-and-1 at the 11-yard line and elected to go for the game-winning touchdown rather than kick a tying field goal. The decision to go for it was debatable, but the actual play call drew widespread criticism: instead of using motion, misdirection, or creative concepts, the Rams ran a straightforward inside run into a stacked defensive front, putting the ball in Kyren Williams's hands rather than Matthew Stafford. The play was stuffed, the Rams lost 26-23 in overtime, and dropped to 3-2.
