Seahawks 19, Rams 16 (OT)
SEAN McVAY: Injury wise, Russ Yeast had a pulmonary contusion. He's in stable condition. They're going to keep him overnight. We'll pray for him, but I think he's going to be okay. I've gotten good news on what we know is not something that you take lightly.
Tough game today. I thought the guys battled. There was a lot of really good bright spots, a lot of chances for us to be able to come away with the result that we were hunting up, but we just came up short.
Really grateful for the resilience of this group, the way they continued to battle. We lost a lot of guys in this game, again, on both sides, but guys that maybe have never been in positions they've been in before got opportunities to be able to play, and there's some things that you look at, and you can't help but be grateful.
Congratulations to Coach Carroll and the Seahawks for finding a way to be able to get it done. We'll look back on this film and wish we had a couple of chances to be able to make some plays that I believe our guys are capable of, but we just came up short, and I'm very appreciative of this group.
Q. Will you be coaching the Rams next season?
SEAN McVAY: I'm not thinking about that right now. Nothing has changed from kind of where we left things off on Friday.
Q. Which would be what?
SEAN McVAY: That I'm right here, right now, and we'll deal with that stuff at a later time.
Q. What is it about this process that's making you unsure?
SEAN McVAY: Yeah, I'll talk about stuff as it relates to the game. Anything as it relates to what is going to happen with me, like I said, I'm not thinking about that right now. I'm appreciative of the way these guys finished up the season.
Any question of that nature, I'm not going to answer.
Q. Did you have a particular message to this team being that it's the end of the season?
SEAN McVAY: Yeah, just appreciative of them. Grateful for the way that they continued to battle. It's one of those years that has been so many different challenges, unique experiences, but guys kept swinging, they kept battling, and wanted that for them to be able to finish up on the right note. But they can hold their heads high with the way they battled.
Q. Will Matthew Stafford and Aaron Donald be back with the Rams?
SEAN McVAY: Those are things we haven't had a chance -- we just finished up the season so we'll work through all that kind of stuff, and you'll have clarity on that sooner than later I'm sure.
Q. Was there a point where you thought your last play, last anything today?
SEAN McVAY: No.
Q. I want to check on Russ because that's a scary phrase. Are you aware of what happened --
SEAN McVAY: You want to be able to articulate -- I kind of just found out, but he's in stable condition. It's something that you don't take lightly. They'll keep him overnight, but the sense that I got from Reggie was that it's something you take very seriously, but he's going to be okay. I think it's probably just based on getting on a flight so quickly afterwards is why they want to just keep him here.
Q. What will you do now? I know you'll talk again tomorrow, but what's your process the next couple days?
SEAN McVAY: Really just kind of standard where we'll have our exit physicals tomorrow, talk to the players and the coaches and then keep it moving from there.
Q. Did Russ get hurt on a hit?
SEAN McVAY: I'm not sure. I'm not sure exactly what occurred there.
Q. Do you have any kind of timeline for your own decision on what you may --
SEAN McVAY: I don't. I don't right now.
Okay? Thank you, guys.
