Rams Vice President of Communications Artis Twyman responded on X to criticism that head coach Sean McVay left a postgame press conference early, countering claims by Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Twyman explained that McVay was already waiting for the media when they arrived late due to staying until the end of the game, and asked for some responsibility to be taken on the matter. The incident occurred after the Rams lost 30-26 to the Broncos in a high-stakes Sunday Night Football match.

Story summary
After the Los Angeles Rams' 30-26 loss to the Denver Broncos in a Sunday Night Football game, Sean McVay, the Rams' head coach, abruptly left his postgame press conference after speaking for less than two minutes. This departure occurred just ten minutes after the final whistle and was reported by Nate Atkins of The Athletic, who described it as unprecedented.
The incident sparked criticism from media members, with some viewing it as disrespectful to journalists who arrived late due to the game's duration. In response, Artis Twyman, the Rams' Vice President of Communications, countered on social media, stating that announcements were made to leave five minutes before the end of the game.
On Monday, McVay issued an apology for missing the questions from reporters and clarified his intentions in a statement: "I’m sorry that I missed you guys yesterday… it was never my intention to miss your questions." The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between sports figures and media representatives during high-stakes games.
