Josh Allen totaled 331 total yards and two touchdowns, and Tyler Bass kicked a 45-yard field goal with 1:55 remaining in overtime after Greg Rousseau blocked a Rams field goal attempt, lifting the Buffalo Bills to a thrilling 37-34 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night.
Allen passed for 210 yards and rushed for 121 more as the Bills (4-1) rallied in a frantic game. The Bills looked in trouble after James Cook fumbled early in overtime, but Allen got another chance, and he finally won an overtime game for the first time in his career while outdueling Matthew Stafford, who passed for 383 yards and three touchdowns. "That's the beautiful thing about football: You get another drive," Allen said. "You get another game."
Cook scored his second touchdown with 1:39 left in regulation, but Kyren Williams scored on a one-yard run with four seconds left to force overtime. Aaron Donald recovered a Cook fumble early in overtime, and Harrison Mevis missed his second field goal of the night when Rousseau got a piece of it. Rams coach Sean McVay was furious with the special-teams play, saying the kicking game "cost us the game tonight."
Bills coach Joe Brady chose to attempt the 45-yard field goal on second down with nearly two minutes left. "The confidence I had in T-Bass was, 'Hey, 45 yards, he's going to make this kick,'" Brady said. Puka Nacua caught a career-high 17 passes for 138 yards for the Rams (2-3), who have now started below .500 after five games for the fourth time in five seasons.
