Sean McVay will coach 15th postseason game — against 15th different opponent

Our Summary

Nine years ago, the Los Angeles Rams hired Sean McVay as head coach. Despite being under 40, McVay will coach his 15th career postseason game in six days. Notably, this game will be against his 15th different playoff opponent, a unique record highlighted by John Breech of CBS Sports. McVay's previous playoff opponents include the Falcons, Cowboys, Saints, Patriots, Seahawks, Packers, Cardinals, Buccaneers, 49ers, Bengals, Lions, Vikings, Eagles, Panthers, and Bears. The only NFC teams McVay has not faced in the playoffs are the Commanders and Giants. A victory at Soldier Field on Sunday could set up McVay's first repeat postseason matchup against either the Seahawks or the 49ers.
