Rams' McVay admits to taking plays from Chiefs

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay admitted to studying his opponent in Monday night's game, the Kansas City Chiefs, for offensive inspiration.

"I'd be lying if I said we have haven't stolen some of their stuff this year," McVay said, according to ESPN's Lindsey Thiry. "They do a great job."

McVay also joked that we would have to "wait and see" if he attempts to use any of those plays come Monday.

The Chiefs currently rank third in the league with an average of 423.1 yards per game, behind only the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Rams.

"There's so much tape and with the ability to easily access it week in and week out, it would be silly for us not to be able to look and see what the heck they're doing," McVay said. "Every single week they do something and you say, 'That's pretty good.'"

Led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has a league-high 31 touchdowns, the Chiefs sit atop the AFC with a 9-1 record while averaging 35.3 points per game.

The Rams are also 9-1 with MVP candidates Jared Goff and Todd Gurley combining for 35 touchdowns. The team ranks third in points scored per game with 33.5.

In what is predicted to be a shootout from two high-powered offenses, the betting total opened at 63.5, the highest total in Covers.com's database since 1984.
