Los Angeles trailed 17-10 after three quarters, but Buffalo ran away with two lengthy TD drives early in the fourth. Los Angeles could not keep up with Allen’s creative playmaking or the Bills’ pass rush, and its only major offseason addition on offense - receiver Allen Robinson - had one catch on two targets. Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp had 13 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown, but the Rams’ night went quickly downhill. Miller came through, but he was just one contributor on a night when Buffalo didn’t even need to blitz once to keep Stafford in check. The Bills’ seven sacks were the most allowed in McVay’s tenure with the Rams, who lost two starters from last year’s offensive line and attempted to replace them internally. … There were a lot of decisions I made that didn’t put us in the best position to succeed. “Very humbling night, but one where you look yourself in the mirror and say you have to be better,” McVay said. 500 for the first time in coach Sean McVay’s six seasons in charge. Matthew Stafford passed for 240 yards with one TD and three interceptions on a bruising night for the Rams, who lost a season opener and fell below. “There’s a lot to learn, but that second half, that’s who we want to be, going out there and executing that way,” Allen said.

The Bills went 9 for 10 on third downs and racked up 413 total yards, eventually pulling away after three first-half turnovers kept it close early.

The star quarterback took his share of hits, but he also dished them out and showed off a mean stiff-arm while Buffalo’s offense under new coordinator Ken Dorsey largely dominated the champs.
