ESPN radio host Stephen Smith shredded the Los Angeles Rams on Friday in a video posted to Twitter after their embarrassing loss.

The Los Angeles Rams lost to the Buffalo Bills 31-10 on Thursday just after unveiling their Super Bowl LVI banner.

Smith roasted the team for getting its “ass kicked.”

“It is one thing to lose a game, it’s another to get yo’ ass kicked, especially when you the Super Bowl champions and hosting opening night of the NFL season. That is what is happening to the Los Angeles Rams right now. It’s bad. It’s pretty bad. I know I picked the Buffalo Bills to come out of the AFC but I ain’t pick them to win the night. Stephen A. was wrong, hold onto this, it’s a rare moment.” (RELATED: The NFL Makes A Sickening Decision. How Low Will The League Stoop?)

Rams coach Sean McVay said the season-opening loss was a “humbling experience” for the team, according to ESPN.

“When you look at a lot of the ways that this game unfolded, [I] feel a huge sense of responsibility to this team,” McVay reportedly said. “We weren’t ready to go. I take a lot of pride in that, and that’s on me. I’ve got to do better. There were a lot of decisions that I made that I felt like didn’t put our players in good enough spots.”

“So it was a very humbling experience, but we’re going to stay connected,” he reportedly continued. “We’re going to all look inward. We’re going to do a better job moving forward.”
