The Los Angeles Rams have fired special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
It marks the first in-season coaching change that Rams head coach Sean McVay has made in his nine seasons in Los Angeles.
Rams assistant special teams coach Ben Kotwica will take over and become the lead special teams coach, a source told Schefter.
The Rams, 11-4 and second place in the NFC West, lost to the Seahawks on Thursday night in a game that included a Seattle punt return for a touchdown and a missed 48-yard field goal by Los Angeles kicker Harrison Mevis.
