The Buffalo Bills (2-2) head across the country to the West Coast to face off with the Los Angeles Rams (3-1) at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, California for a cross-conference, transcontinental showdown. The contest is due to kick off at 4:25 PM on Sunday, October 9th and is set to be televised on FOX in selected regional markets.
Two weeks ago Buffalo looked as if they were on the verge of elimination from any form of a quantifiable season at 0-2. Since then the Bills have shocked and awed many against some of the NFL’s best teams. The Bills own wins over both the Patriots and Cardinals after looking mediocre against the Ravens and Jets to kick off the 2016-17 season. The Bills have improved to a record of 2-2, off of a boisterous 16-0 victory at New England.
After getting blown out 28-0 against the San Francisco 49ers to start off the 2016-17 season, the Los Angeles Rams have gone on to win their last three knocking off both Seattle and Arizona in the process. The Rams’ defense has been the catalyst in this streak as well as the breakout of former Georgia Bulldog running back Todd Gurley in 2015 who may be the best running back in all the game today. The Rams come in to this fixture with soaring stock in their own right.
