"This was fun because they were not going to come out and say we made a statement, we wanted to come out and make a statement with these particular plays. The way they were designed. The looks they went against. I hope it wasn't lost on fans that these explosive passing plays came against the Bears, the same defense that has sometimes flummoxed the Rams in years past."
"So these types of things were a statement. They were the quarterback on display. I think something really important about the passing plays is that it was Van Jefferson and Cooper Kupp. Where maybe defenses were expecting it would only be Desean Jackson, maybe a little TuTu Atwell sprinkled in here or there. Maybe some Jacob Harris down the road."
"You are running it with any receiver on your roster. I think that is really important because once you have to account for every single receiver on some of those high concepts you are going to have to account for every single receiver on the field in a variety of ways. And that means help can't come where you need it to come on defense."
"So that to me was not only a statement from the Rams, from McVay and Mathew Stafford but also from the receivers as well."
"I absolutely agree with you D'Marco that the offensive line I think it was a bit of a statement game from them as well."
