The Los Angeles Rams losing to the Buffalo Bills in Week 1 in the fashion that they did was quite surprising. However, how they lost might not have even been the most surprising thing about what took place in the home opener. The most surprising thing from Week 1 was the fact that starting running back Cam Akers only got three carries in the loss.
Akers finished with three carries for zero yards while Darrell Henderson led the way with 13 rushing attempts. After tearing his achilles during the 2021 training camp, many have wondered if Akers will ever be able to return to the player that fans saw take over late in his rookie season.
