Josh Allen guided the Buffalo Bills to a 37‑34 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night at SoFi Stadium, extending Buffalo’s record to 4‑1 while the Rams fell to 2‑3, according to the Los Angeles Times.

What happened

The game remained close through three quarters, with the Rams trailing 13‑7 at halftime. Matthew Stafford threw three touchdown passes, including a two‑yard strike to Puka Nacua that gave Los Angeles a 20‑19 lead early in the fourth quarter. Buffalo responded with an 80‑yard drive capped by a one‑yard rush by Allen, followed by a two‑point conversion to tight end Dalton Kincaid, putting the Bills ahead 27‑21. After a missed extra point earlier, the Bills held a 27‑22 advantage.

In overtime, Buffalo’s kicker Tyler Bass converted a 45‑yard field goal with 1:55 left, sealing the win. The Rams’ kicker Harrison Mevis had two earlier attempts blocked, including a potential game‑winning try stopped by linebacker Greg Rousseau.

What the reports add

The Los Angeles Times noted the Rams were flagged 11 times for 84 yards, many for pre‑snap penalties that have frustrated coach Sean McVay. It also highlighted a 70‑yard kickoff return allowed to Buffalo at the start of the game and a blocked field‑goal attempt in overtime.

How it came about

The Rams entered the game after a shaky start to the season, having earned four prime‑time appearances in their first five games but struggling on special teams. Their special‑teams problems echo earlier issues noted in Felo News coverage of a September 2025 loss to the Eagles, where a blocked field goal also proved costly. Buffalo, led by former MVP Josh Allen, improved to 4‑1, matching a Felo story that highlighted Allen’s first career overtime win.
