After a stellar performance against the Minnesota Vikings, Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula is increasingly viewed as a future head coach. Emulating the success of his grandfather, Don Shula, Chris utilized a dominant defensive front to neutralize the Vikings' potent offense, marking a significant moment for head coach Sean McVay.

This victory, while lacking the grandeur of their Super Bowl LVI win, showcased McVay's growth as a leader. Promoting Shula to defensive coordinator highlights the depth of his coaching staff and hints at the future branches of McVay's coaching tree.
