You will never guess who got the Rams game ball after a gutsy Week 2 win

So who got the game ball for the Rams in Game 2?

The post-game speech from Coach Pleasant strove to focus on the group achievement, and not individual accomplishment. In his post-game speech, he mentioned 'we can talk about the game balls later. Right now, this is about us.'

So did the Rams waive their tradition of handing out game balls?

Not at all. Head Coach Sean McVay stepped up, armed with a game ball awarrd, and tossed the football to Coach Pleasant. As soon as that happened, everyone in the room roared with cheers of approval, because they all understood that his victory, this game ball, was dedicated to Assistant HC Aubrey Pleasant, a coach who just had his first taste of an NFL head coaching role.

An honor that was so well-deserved.

The LA Rams entered this game pitting a squad of purely backups and depth players against a Los Angeles Chargers team that was a blend of starters and backups. On a pure 'talent' level, it's no wonder the Rams were underdogs in this one. In fact, the Rams have consistently been the underdog in both preseason games so far.

But this is football. While other teams prioritize track and field athletics in their talent assessment, the Rams prioritize football acumen, passion for the game, high morals, leadership, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win. Just compare where the team is finding surprisingly good talent? Former Texas WR Jordan Whittington is loved by Longhorn fans because he selflessly did whatever the team asked of him.

Former Clemson DT Tyler Davis was described by his former head coach as one of the best all-time Clemson Tigers players. Not just from his on-field production, but in his maturity and off-field demeanor.

Coach Pleasant got the game ball, but I am certain that he believes the honor belongs to everyone who competed in the game. I believe he may be right on that one.
