The Los Angeles Rams faced a tough challenge against a formidable Buffalo Bills squad. Despite their efforts, they were unable to secure victory at SoFi Stadium, where an attendance of 73,846 fans witnessed the event. The Rams' defense managed two sacks and forced two fumbles, recovering both. They also intercepted two passes from their adversaries and defended three passes throughout the game.


On offense, however, it was a challenging day for the Rams as they struggled to find consistency in their passing game despite completing 29 out of 41 attempts for a total of 240 yards. Their lone touchdown came through the air on one of these completions that went for four yards into the end zone. The rushing attack didn't fare much better with only 52 yards on 18 attempts.

Special teams had some bright spots with punting averaging an impressive net yardage of forty per punt and successfully pinning two inside the twenty-yard line. Additionally, they made good on all kicking opportunities including a field goal from beyond fifty yards.


The Bills showcased strong play as well with thirty-one points scored against a stout Rams defense that did manage to put up some resistance with turnovers and sacks. However, it wasn't enough to slow down Buffalo's momentum throughout four quarters of play.
