Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay wasn't exactly thrilled with his team's surprising 55-40 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

The Rams were convincing favorites heading into the matchup with the Bucs, who were coming off a home loss to the New York Giants in Week 3.

However, it was the Bucs that took control early and often in jumping out to a 21-0 lead, and they were able to turn that into a huge scoring output en route to their second win of the season.

Of course, it was a performance that caught the Rams off guard, and it showed with how they played for the majority of the game.

Here's what McVay had to say about the loss, courtesy of Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times:

“I think it’s really a wakeup call for everybody,” McVay said. “Utlimately it’s about finding a way to win football games.”

The Rams had an impressive 3-0 start that included road wins over the Carolina Panthers and Cleveland Browns, and a home win against the New Orleans Saints.

So, it was certainly interesting to see them lose in such a unique fashion to a Bucs team that couldn't stop rookie quarterback Daniel Jones and the Giants.

But if McVay's team wants to get back on track, they'll need to put together a much more complete performance as they prepare to travel to take on the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night.
