The Los Angeles Rams lost to the Buffalo Bills in overtime on Monday, October 13, 2026, after a blocked 48‑yard field‑goal attempt by rookie kicker Harrison Mevis. With 4:16 left in OT and the score tied at 34‑34, Mevis, who had already missed a 50‑yard attempt earlier, was sent out to attempt the walk‑off kick. Greg Rousseau blocked the attempt, and the Bills subsequently won on a Tyler Bass field goal.

What happened

The Rams forced a fumble on Bills running back James Cook on the opening drive of overtime, giving them a chance to win. After the blocked kick, Buffalo’s quarterback Josh Allen drove the ball into field‑goal range, and Tyler Bass converted the decisive 33‑yard field goal. The Rams’ offense had earlier seen Matthew Stafford complete 40 of 54 passes for 383 yards and three touchdowns.

What the reports add

Sportskeeda noted that Mevis had previously missed a 50‑yard field goal in the first half. The outlet also recorded a wave of fan comments on social media demanding his immediate release, with one fan saying, “He should never touch a football field again.”

What was said

Rams head coach Sean McVay told the media, “In the kicking game, especially our PAT/field goal, not even close to good enough. It cost us the game tonight… Yeah, I’m going to evaluate everything.”

How it came about

The blocked kick followed a series of conservative play‑calling decisions that had already drawn criticism from fans after the Rams’ overtime loss, as covered in Felo News’s earlier article on the same game.
