Based on the post-game presser I think after Kupp got hurt w/ 1 minute to play McVay decided enough was enough. They are flat out bad at the moment. Maybe Stafford should be added to the "guys who should retire" list.
What shocked me much more than this, was they got the ball with 1 minutes left in the first half at the 25, and they ran up the middle twice to run the clock out. That's a statement from the coach, Stafford is the QB , not Malik.
