Los Angeles Rams

Matthew Stafford had to answer questions about his elbow injury. Sean McVay said that Stafford was throwing the ball well during practice.

In the loss to the Bills, Stafford struggled, completing 29 of 41 passes for 236 yards with a touchdown and three turnovers. He passed the test with a rating of 64.1. Los Angeles was 6 for 13 on third down, and the Rams only had one drive with double-digit plays.

The Bills sacked Stafford seven times, the first of which was by Von Miller. The seven sacks are the most Stafford has ever taken. The Rams had a lot of turnover on their offensive line, including Andrew Whitworth who retired after the Super Bowl.

Rams players talked about how difficult it is to tackle Josh Allen and how he uses his arm to get away from them. The Bills had a false start on third and seven. Allen extended the drive with his legs, running eight yards for a first down and stiff-arming Scott on the play. The game-winning score for Buffalo was the result of that play.

Allen Robinson is going to catch two touchdown passes against Atlanta. The Rams' offense struggled as a whole, even though Robinson was only targeted twice against the Bills. Robinson will benefit from the Rams coming out swinging against the Falcons.

McVay had never lost a season opener or been under.500 in his career as a head coach.

The next game is against the Falcons. It's Sunday.
