There was a lot of scoring between the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on Sunday, but it was the home team led by Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua who won.
It was a big win for the Rams, who won 44-42 and are now 7-6 in a close NFC West division. The Bills, on the other hand, are currently 10-3, destroying their chances of being the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC.
The most points in an NFL game all season came from these two high-octane offenses, and the scoring started right away on both teams' opening drives.

Stafford and the Rams gained 12 plays, 70 yards, and Kyren Williams opened the scoring with a dash from 3 yards out.
Then Josh Allen, amazing despite the loss, fought back with a 9-play drive of over 70 yards and ended up in the end zone with 1 yard left to make it 7-7. .
However, Los Angeles made the difference with perfectly executed special teams play that ultimately helped them win. After a field goal gave the Rams a 10-7 lead, the defense forced the Bills to punt, but the ball was blocked and didn't go through the air, and Hunter Long recovered it for a scoop-and-score touchdown.

At 17-7, the Rams never trailed again in this game. Allen tried his best to keep scoring, but Stafford always came right back.
And much of that was due to Nacua, who had 12 receptions for a game-high 162 yards and a touchdown both on the ground and through the air.
Cooper Kupp also gained 92 of Stafford's 320 yards and scored his second passing touchdown of the game.
In the fourth quarter, Allen did his best to win the game, leading three scoring drives, including one with a minute left.

However, a failed quarterback sneak forced Bills head coach Sean McDermott to use the first of three timeouts in the first half. This was very important because it meant he had to perform an onside kick instead of kicking deep and giving the defense a chance to stop. .
Tyler Bass' onside kick was recovered by Ronnie Rivers, and the Rams held on for the victory.
If you take a closer look at the box score, there wasn't much else Allen could have done. He scored three points on the ground and led the Bills with 82 rushing yards on 10 carries, and through the air he completed 22 of 37 for 342 yards and three passing scores.
Khalil Shakir was once again his top target, gaining 106 yards on five catches, including a 51-yard catch-and-run for six points. Amari Cooper also had six catches for 95 yards, and Mack Hollins and Ty Johnson scored touchdowns through the air.
