The streak is over
Josh Allen just secured his first career overtime victory, and honestly? It’s giving main character energy. In a frantic 37-34 win on Monday night, the Buffalo Bills (4-1) outlasted the Los Angeles Rams in a game that felt like a total vibe shift for Allen, who was previously 0-7 in OT.
The highlights
Allen was doing the absolute most, accounting for 331 total yards and two touchdowns—passing for 210 and rushing for 121. It wasn’t a perfect performance; he admitted the team needs to clean things up after a messy first half, but he definitely ate when it mattered. On the other side, Rams QB Matthew Stafford was also locked in, throwing for 383 yards and three touchdowns.
The drama was high-key. Kyren Williams forced a tie with a one-yard surge in the final seconds of regulation. In overtime, the Rams looked ready to end it, but Buffalo’s Greg Rousseau came through with a massive block on a field goal attempt by Harrison Mevis. Allen then scrambled for 19 and 13 yards to set up Tyler Bass for the game-winning 45-yarder.
Why it matters
This win keeps the Bills at 4-1 as they continue their two-game West Coast road trip. For the Rams (2-3), the loss is another tough break as they drop under .500 for the fourth time in five seasons. Real talk: watching these two elite QBs battle it out was the content we needed, even if the execution wasn't always smooth.
