The Los Angeles Rams have fired special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The move comes two days after the Rams’ special teams played a role in their 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks, which dropped Los Angeles to second place in the NFC West.
This marks the first in-season coaching change during Sean McVay’s nine-year tenure as the Rams’ head coach.
Blackburn, 42, was in his third season as the Rams’ special teams coordinator. A former linebacker for the Giants and Panthers, he also has worked as an assistant with Carolina and Tennessee.
