What happened: Los Angeles went 5-for-5 in the red zone without a turnover. Special teams breakdowns erased that efficiency and left the kicking unit facing questions.

Why it matters: Teams with that combination of first downs, yardage, ball security and red-zone efficiency had won 76 straight games. The loss wastes a complete offensive performance and turns late-game management into the central issue.

What to watch: McVay said he will evaluate everything in the kicking operation. Changes to personnel or late-game procedure bear watching.
