Sean McVay is 'sick' of his overtime call as another Super Bowl coach publicly regrets the game-ending decision.

Sean McVay says he's "sick" after a third-down play that led to a blocked field goal in the Rams' overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday.

Craig Carton reflects on the terrible Sunday of coaching in the NFL Craig's cartoon show

The NFL saw bad coaching decisions across the NFL on Sunday. Craig Carton looks at the decisions that cost the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Chiefs their respective championships.

Week 5 of the NFL season will be remembered by historians as the week when head coaches publicly apologized to their teams, admitted their mistakes and otherwise regretted their decisions — and Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay is the latest to join them.

The Rams lost to the Buffalo Bills in overtime in what may have been the most entertaining game of the Monday Night Football season.

McVay was upset with himself afterward, saying he was "sick" and "regretful" about the decision, which wasn't necessarily wrong, but wasn't optimal, and gave his team a game-clinching situation.

The game is in overtime. The Rams have stopped the Bills on their first possession, so any score by Tim McVay is a game winner.

And the Rams appeared to be headed for those scores and the win when they drove from their own 20-yard line to the Buffalo 30, largely by completing five straight passes.

Buffalo's defensive line is moving under a barrage of passes from Matthew Stafford. But on third-and-5 from the Bills' 30-yard line, McVay calls for right tackle Kyren Williams to run.

It was clear that the coach was setting up his team for a field goal rather than pushing it. Except that the Rams lost in the fourth and continued a multi-season struggle with their special teams that cost them several games.

"Yeah, you know what? If only I knew," McVay told reporters afterward. "I wish I could have had a better game and I would have gone for it, I would have gone a lot harder. I'm sick of myself right now.

"...I'm proud of the way we battled and I'm sick of coming up short and regretting hitting it and not having a better call to go ahead in the bottom of the third...

"It's my responsibility" to manage the blown clock, Washington Chiefs coach Dan Quinn said at the end of his team's game against the New York Giants that turned a potential victory into a tie.

These coaches are apparently wrestling each other for Harry Truman's "Buck Stops Here" Oval Office sign. And that's good.

The manager's accountability, especially when it comes out publicly, sets a good example for the players and how they should behave. Privately in the team.

The thing is, three coaches who took teams to Super Bowls — McVay and Siraniani won on the NFL's biggest stage — made significant mistakes in the same NFL game week. The mistakes were so obvious that everyone decided to take responsibility publicly.

The NFL was plagued by officiating mistakes and suspensions last week, and it was a big story.

These star coaches blowing it all up in one week has shifted the focus to the quality of coaching decisions around the league.
