At times it became hard to watch. It was NFL’s opening night in the nation’s entertainment capital, ceremonies began with all the pomp, circumstance and celebrity cameos befitting a reigning Super Bowl champion. But as the game unfolded, the Los Angeles Rams were the ones that looked star struck in a 31-10 beat-down loss to the Buffalo Bills.
L.A. was out-coached, out-schemed, out-played, out-hustled, and out-hearted. Buffalo used the standard approach that gives the Rams fits, they remained disciplined and bullied them into submission. Bills quarterback Josh Allen repeatedly played pitch-and-catch with open receivers underneath to move the sticks and set the Rams up to be beaten deep on play action.
