Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay have an excellent rapport during games and on the practice field, developing instant chemistry when they linked up in 2021. Theyâve also become good friends away from football, which only helps their player-coach relationship.
Because theyâre so close, Stafford isnât afraid to call out his coach when he goes a little bit crazy with a play call on the headset. This clip shared by Dov Kleiman shows just that.
Stafford thought the call was over but McVay kept going. And going. And going.
âI got it. I got it. I got it. Please. Stop. Yes. Please stop,â Stafford said, gesturing to the sideline for McVay to cut off the play call. âOh my god, heâs still going. Heâs still going.â
Stafford even told one of the assistant coaches to âsnatch this (expletive) if you get himâ because McVay just would not stop rambling on the headset. Of course, Stafford canât talk back to the sideline through his helmet because itâs a one-way line of communication, so McVay had no idea his quarterback was exhausted from listening to his voice.
âI mean, this is unbelievable what I’m getting right now. Holy (expletive), boys,â Stafford said.
