Snap by Ferguson, hold by Domin, kick on the way. 34, overtime victory. Ooh, Chris Brown on WGR. The best wins are the ones that you thought you lost
Starting point is 00:01:07 right before it happened. The bills finish off the Rams, 37 to 34, in a game where just minutes before, in overtime, the Rams set up for their own. game-winning field goal attempt. But like so many Rams games of the Sean McVeigh era, the special teams lets them down.
Starting point is 00:01:29 A blocked kick by Harrison Meevis. Great job by Greg Russo breaking through the line on a 48-yard attempt after Sean McVeigh gets conservative once again to set up a shaky kicker for a long field goal. Once again, it doesn't happen. the bills get the ball and Josh Allen does what he did all night, which is help to run the ball down the field to set up the game winner. What a game.
Starting point is 00:02:01 I lost track, Jordan Rodriguez. I think it was eight lead changes, four ties, 35 fourth quarter points. It was absolutely a game where we thought like the offense, like whoever has the ball last is going to win, but it didn't work out that way in overtime with the James Cook. fumble and then the Harrison Meevis blocked field goal and it is the bills who get out of there with a four and one record Rams now at two and three. Omens and signs, Greg, omens and signs because the Rams opened this game up by allowing a 70-yard
Starting point is 00:02:35 kickoff return to the bills. And for me, it always comes back. It's so cyclical. It's special teams over and over. Again, with this team, when I covered them for, you know, five. years, it always came back to special teams and lacking a clear solution for the problems that popped up over and over again. And I don't know if this ever gets fixed until Sean McVeigh as the head coach and one of the smartest coaches we have in this league right now actually
Starting point is 00:03:07 internalizes and understands how much this special teams unit and the way that it is operating over and over again actually limits his play calling changes. the way that he's able to attack opponents in the margins of these games. And it is a complete and utter failure that they promise over and over again to fix. And it is not. They don't really follow through with it in the way that they use their resources to, like, who they hire, you know, who they sign for special teams. Do you have special teams?
Starting point is 00:03:37 Only guys, special teams, coordinators. And there's so much more to get to this game. But we are starting on this because I like what you said there, Jordan, about McVeigh. but I wish he would change his play calling more because the part of the game that frustrated me the most was not Mivas missing the field goal earlier in the game or them giving up a kick return from a Rams special team's perspective. It was in overtime when they get the ball
Starting point is 00:04:04 after James Cook makes that fumble. Stafford goes deep to Davis Allen over the middle of the field. The Bill's defense absolutely gasped. Then Stafford goes deep to Pooka Nakuwa for 21 yards. The Rams offense had not been stopped basically in the entire second half of the game. Then, you know, there's an incomplete to Kairn Williams. It's second and 10, a short, very conservative play call to Puka Nakua for five yards. And then the one that killed me was just running Kairn Williams into the middle of the line of scrimmage.
Starting point is 00:04:38 When Stafford had been playing so well all night, kind of accepting like, hey, it's on our special teams. We have a special team. go and win the game for us when the Bill's cornerbacks could not cover these Rams receivers by the end of this game. And I think you just got to trust Matthew Stafford there because I kind of assumed they're going to miss the kick unless it's like a 25-yard kick, I mean, going into it. And he definitely did not assume that. It's a system.
Starting point is 00:05:05 It's like a systemic issue. It's an organizational failure because you're operating as if you fixed a problem that you clearly haven't. And it's not like there haven't been clues that this. wasn't going to be working out this year. Almost every game this season, there's big, there's big issues. And so I don't want to take credit away from the bills either. You know, they,
Starting point is 00:05:25 they played so great in the second half, that fourth quarter. And overtime, especially Josh Allen was magical. You know, tough fumble by James Cook, but ultimately absolved, right, when you win the game in that fashion at the end. But it is, it is actually striking at this
Starting point is 00:05:43 point. you know, what is that age old saying, banging your head against the wall over and over and over again and expecting it not to hurt? Like, what are we doing? You know, like this is crazy to me. It's an organization that prides itself
Starting point is 00:05:57 on being at the forefront of so many things in this league in this age old phase that does matter in this game and has always been important and always will be important. It's even more important now with the rule change
Starting point is 00:06:08 continues to shoot them in the foot. It is malpractice at this point. I thought after last year it cost them, I think, a Super Bowl title because, you know, Seattle beat them because of special teams and they would have made it to the Super Bowl that things would have changed. But it didn't. They went into this week 30 second in DVOA, which measures like all the assets, you know, all the parts of special teams. And, you know, they've been 32nd before. It is frustrating. One of the commenters asking was that Josh Allen's best game as a scrambler? Is he the best scrambling quarterback? of all time. I mean, he's had the most efficient play since he's entered the league, has been a Josh Allen scramble. So we might as well give out the nationwide player of the week right now. And it's definitely Josh Allen, who, you know, on the ground goes for 10 carries,
Starting point is 00:07:01 121 yards, ends up with 210 yards through the air. He had that awful arm punt at the end of the first half. But that's on only 19 attempts. I don't believe he had a coach. completion, Jordan, over 10 air yards until the very end of the game. I think we made it through regulation with him not having any. And yet it didn't matter between him and Josh Allen, I mean, him and James Cook, who had those fumbles, they finished with 234 yards on the ground. And it's just like an explosive offense, but it's a running offense. And I think they've kind of realized we need to be.
Starting point is 00:07:43 a run first team and tonight without DJ Moore on the field, even though they were totally imbalanced, run versus past, they stuck with it all night long. Yeah, and credit to them for sticking with it because it's hurt them before to not do that and to be maybe a little too worried or too precious about, you know, do we really open up Josh Allen at this point? And I would imagine after some of the bumpiness of the last couple weeks,
Starting point is 00:08:08 this is something he's wanting to do. He's wanting to push for this. And to your point, Greg, close, it was only one pass of over 10 air yards, and it was the 17-yarder to Khalil Shakir right in the fourth quarter when the games tied 27 all. That's when things really got fun and stayed fun through the end. But with this, with Josh Allen scrambling specifically,
Starting point is 00:08:30 there were these wide open seams for him to attack. And it was almost like the Rams defense thought, based on what they had watched and some of the tentativeness maybe of the last couple of weeks and the understanding that they need to preserve him for the long term of the season, the bills do. Maybe they played him a little bit differently at times because maybe thinking this wasn't going to be
Starting point is 00:08:53 as much of a part of the game plan as it was. And he made it that way. He made it a factor in such a huge way. The two runs that were so crazy was the 21-yard run that he had at the two-minute. And then again, in overtime, that run that when he picks up to ultimately set them up for the game winner.
Starting point is 00:09:13 It is so special to see how he can do this. It completely alters a game. It causes producer Eric Roberts, who's at the game with his beautiful family. And was that his son's first bills game, I think? It was. It was really cool. Like maybe a little video of Austin from the game at some point.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Causes him to text us, you know, what the F just happened after one of those big scrambles. Of course, he's ahead of us by a minute or so. but it just, it was, it's magical to watch him when he really opens up that way that he does. And it saved him tonight because their passing game was basically non-existent without DJ Moore on the field. Yeah, they, look, he, he ran the ball 10 times. He had a success rate of 100%.
Starting point is 00:09:58 12 yards per carry. Every single run he had was successful. And look, it wasn't exactly a part of the game plan, but the Rams made it a part of the game plan. I think almost all of them were scrambles. None of them were designed runs. And I think you can look at how teams approach Josh Allen and talk about the rush plan that they had.
Starting point is 00:10:16 We haven't seen enough juice from this Rams Pass rush this season in general. Josiah Stewart gets a sack early in this game, get some pressure on Josh Allen. The entire Patriots game plan last week is just about having a discipline rush with the four and not allowing Josh Allen to run. And he basically didn't run at all last week. Like that, they were going to lose every other type of way, but they were going to make sure that he couldn't rush.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Now, that's a team that has the benefit of, you know, bigger players up front, but more importantly, they play Josh Allen twice a year. And this is like the one thing they're going to do more than anything else. And I thought they did a brilliant job at that last week where, like, rushing as four, instead of everyone just trying to win and losing gaps. And that's exactly what Josh Allen took advantage of. I do feel bad for James Cook. Because at one point in the game, James Cook was probably going to be the player of the game.
Starting point is 00:11:07 I want to listen to some positive highlights. So let's actually go back to the fourth quarter. And let's listen to James Cook's go ahead touchdown. This is with under two minutes to go. The two teams at this point were going back and forth with touchdowns. And you wondered if the Rams, if the Bills, who were trying to score their third straight touchdown, we're going to try to milk the clock just a little more
Starting point is 00:11:34 because the Rams had scored two straight touchdown. at that point. Instead, James Cook found pay dirt. Let's listen. Tight end set. Two of them are on the left, knocks on the right. Cook the loan setback. Here's a snap. Hand off to Cook, lowers the shoulder, driving his legs, and he's into the end zone for his second touchdown of the night. James Cook, the cook is in the kitchen. With 144 left, he has given the bills the lead back again. Yeah, what I really love about this, Bill's team is they've had this offensive line together for so long. And Spencer Brown goes out tonight with a back injury. And it really didn't affect them. There were so many Rams defenders
Starting point is 00:12:18 on the ground. They move as one. Like, where would you rank them or where would you like put them just in your mind's eye of like best power blocking rushing attacks right now? Just like a cohesive rushing attack setting up for James Cook? Well, honestly, I think we we saw two of like the top five teams tonight in the rushing attack. And I've said it a couple of times on our show. I'll say it again. I love the way the bills run the ball. I love watching how in sync their offensive line can be when it's really
Starting point is 00:12:50 grooving. And that's even, you know, losing Spencer Brown at one point to injury as well. You know, this, the way that he runs, I hated the fumble for him too, Greg, because the way that he runs and the second effort of that run, I think really embodies what they're all about, which is pushing for that extra in the like down to down or short yardage spaces and then the ability to hit these explosives from time to time as well. And they were relying on that not only in the run game, but also in the passing game to hit those yards after the catch explosives the only way they really could. And I feel like, you know, with James Cook,
Starting point is 00:13:29 and it's unfortunate to see that punch out for him again here on the screen. But with James Cook, I just feel like he does show how in that play at the goal line, when he's making that second effort, he shows really how Rams defenders were struggling to contain a lot of these plays all night. There were a couple of good plays and obviously the splash play here. But there were, especially early on on some of the bigger runs. And then those two explosives from Tyler Johnson, the catch and run, and then also another big explosive James Cook, run, there was maybe like one defender in the area taking a bad angle and missing and missing
Starting point is 00:14:12 the tackle and nobody else around to swarm to the ball. And the best defenses we watch in this league are swarming to the ball. And the bills just had this way of not only creating angles and creating extra space for their run game when they were hitting those explosives, but also, you know, the lack of flooding to the concept really hurt the Rams tonight too. And look, Cook is an incredible runner. Fumbles are a huge problem for him. He has 10 fumbles since the start of last season. It's by far the most in the NFL.
Starting point is 00:14:43 He has the most fumbles since 2022 in the NFL. Like by far the most. I think he has six more maybe than anyone else and four more since the start of last season. So he is in an elite back, but that is a huge problem that kind of knocks him below the rest. But the thing I'm glad you bring up, Ty Johnson there because it's an incredible one-two punch.
Starting point is 00:15:07 There's a reason James Cook doesn't really play that much on passing downs. I think you could argue Ty Johnson is the best like pure third down back that there is left in the league. He ends up with 72 yards. He had the 40-yard catch that you mentioned, but Alan was also looking for him on these checkdowns and he was making people miss. Ray Davis is their third running back. He had a 31-yard reception in this game. So it was all just dump-offs and running backs.
Starting point is 00:15:31 And it's such an interesting way to produce an incredibly efficient offense on the night. And look, Khalil Shakir, who had that one long catch in overtime, if Cam Kitchens had just like gotten his keel and then Shakir kind of trips on himself, we would have had a touchdown in overtime. I do want to go through a little bit how this game ended. So I am mentioning like the first half of this game, we go into halftime. It's only 13 to 7 bills. It's a few long drives for the Rams and they only capitalize on one of them.
Starting point is 00:16:06 They had the miss kick there. It wasn't a ton of offense in the first half. And then we just start going back and forth and back and forth. After that Bill's touchdown drive that we just heard from with Cook capitalizing, Stafford, who ends up with 383 yards and three touchdowns, just dices the bills up. And at this point, the Bill's defense looked absolutely gasped. The Rams had a huge advantage in terms of plays in the first half, about 20 more plays.
Starting point is 00:16:36 They still ended with that advantage, 78 plays to 57. And there are open receivers finally down the field in the fourth quarter for the Rams when before everything was very difficult. He gets them down to the goal line. And again, a coach is tested with a time management situation. They get the ball right near the goal line with about 20 seconds to go. and Sean McVade decides to not use his last time out. Instead, Stafford gets up to the line of scrimmage. He hands it off to Kyron Williams.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Let's listen. He has me the time. Touchdown. 12. 10. Stafford ready in the gun. Takes the snap. Gives to Kyron.
Starting point is 00:17:14 He runs it in. Touchdown, L.A. With four seconds left. An extra point can tie it up in force overtime. Ooh, you think you should have got it for two? I was thinking about it. I mean, what does Mike Tomlin like to say? Don't live in your fears.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Yeah. I mean, I could see it both ways for this specifically. Now, also on the other side, if the bills were in the same situation, you know, they kicked that every time. They're two points other than one have not, tonight have not been working all year. But in consideration of the Rams, you know, with Stafford throwing the ball the way that he was, with the Rams moving the ball in the ground the way that he was, Kyron Williams was kind of on a heater at that point, run and pass.
Starting point is 00:18:00 He had made a third and seven one-handed catch that was insane right previously in the drive to sort of set up his own touchdown run there. And it really felt like if you just kept pushing, you could build like this monolithic force. And, you know, then you again, you put it in the hands of a kicker that just is so, is so streaky, clearly. So for me, but on the other side, it's like if I have Matthew Stafford and I'm getting the ball in overtime and Matthew Stafford is playing like this, then I'm going to try to win an overtime. So I can see I can see both sides. I do think that that's that scoring there sort of absolved
Starting point is 00:18:36 him of getting, of having that much time taken off the clock. Maybe he didn't want to give Josh Allen eight seconds to pull Lamar Jackson. So I mean, I don't know, Greg, we've seen some crazy stuff the last couple weeks. It is a results oriented business and I get it. They scored there. so, and he knew like they were running the ball so well. And he didn't use the timeout, you know, partly because they want the flexibility to run the ball there. You take the time out and you get four plays. And instead, you know, it took so long for it to happen. He would have only gotten two plays there.
Starting point is 00:19:10 But it gives you the chance to run it on the first one and then take the time out. So it also that ends well, they had a streak, I believe it said at the bottom of ESPN where they hadn't hit a two-point play in a long time. And then they did in this game earlier. Stafford didn't get the first one. I think did get the second one, right? He failed on the two-point conversion to Pukua when it was 20 to 19. So maybe that was sitting in his head.
Starting point is 00:19:36 And one of the biggest plays of the game now looking back and one of the best throws of the game was Alan getting away from pressure to hit Dalton Kincaid for a two-point conversion to make it 27 to 20. And that kind of is the cheap code. Right? Like, don't you think, like tonight, so many of those scrambles and a couple of the throws were, where they were just like good rushes and you just couldn't get Josh Allen down. So I'm getting on the rush plan a little bit, but a lot of it is just he's impossible or so difficult to take down and he's just making something out of nothing. Do you know it was interesting too how both of these teams had similar issues, but at different points of the game.
Starting point is 00:20:16 So like the false start penalties really hurt the bills down the back half of the stretch, just really trying to, you know, capitalize with more points off of some of these drives. And, you know, the two points earlier in the game, too. And then the Rams struggle with the two point. The Rams opened with a ton of penalties, false starts. The teams finished with 24 combined penalties, which is absolutely insane.
Starting point is 00:20:39 And then also they both teams were trying in some ways, and particularly in some of those two point attempts, to make up for missed extra points, missed field goals. Just the way that the game was so, lopsided at times. It was close, but lopsided in the sense that we had like some odd scores. We had like 20 to 19. We had like, you know, these one point back and forths that you think an extra point solves all of this, but both teams had had issues. Rams obviously had worse ones on special teams. Yeah, it is a good call that Tyler Bass missed a kick, an extra point,
Starting point is 00:21:16 as you point out earlier in the game. And that set up the Rams going for the two. that they didn't get and that, of course, in the end, Matthew Stafford does. Let's talk about the Puka Nakuwa usage. 24 targets for Pukua, 17 catches, 138 yards, and a touchdown. And, you know, we've got our new guy editing tonight. I said, Dan, you know, put together like a little package of Pukunakua catches. And this thing could be 15 minutes long if you wanted them. A lot of them were short passes early.
Starting point is 00:21:53 As I said, Stafford ended up throwing 54 times. They're missing a little bit of explosiveness without our guy at tight end. And it felt like it was hard for most of the night. And yet I admired that they stayed patient. And I think the game plan worked because they were trying to wear the bills down. And ultimately in the second half, I did think in the second half in overtime, as much as this loss hurts for the Rams, that was easily the best. offense that they've had all season. It's not even close. It was the second half and overtime was the best that they played after, like you mentioned, some first half mistakes. Yeah, I think it's a real
Starting point is 00:22:32 credit to the Bill's defense here through most of this. You could tell they were worn out by the end. And obviously, it makes you feel a lot better when they come out with the win instead of the loss here. But credit to them, they played a like a zone, sort of a shell-e type of coverage. their corners kept getting banged up. Christian Benford had the toe issue. CJGJ banged up, left the game, came back in at multiple points. Maxwell Harrison did not start this game but was in by the end because of different injuries.
Starting point is 00:23:04 And what they were doing was just trying to truncate the Rams offense. They saw that they were going to have to come out in a lot of 12 personnel and nobody's really buying, for the most part, the 2-2-at-Well field stretching yet. There was one big play where he could. cleared out the middle for Tyler Higbee, I believe it was. And that was kind of the intent of it. But nobody's really buying, you know, at this time, the downfield passing attack just yet. In the second half and especially the fourth quarter, it did start coming alive. And it was interesting. A lot of that was tight ends because Pukunakua was basically their underneath guy and
Starting point is 00:23:37 had a couple screens too because, you know, the stat line looks good to finish. And then you realize it is about, you know, seven yards per play through most of the game. My mental math is not the best. But, you know, it is, it is picking and poking underneath and staying patient. When, when things started really opening up for them, I thought it was interesting, a couple of tight ends who got, you know, in the game. Tyler Higbee had their two, a couple of their biggest gains of the night. Davis Allen, who came up with a crucial third and one catch. And then it set up a touchdown. And, you know, a touchdown. And then also, you know, it's all over their blocking surface anyway. But then finally gets another catch and a long catch. I think probably one of the longest of his career, if not the longest. So there was space to be had by the end of the game. But everything looks so difficult. Really for both of these passing games in the start of this game,
Starting point is 00:24:31 everything looks so difficult. When I wrote on my cards, you know I love my cards, Greg. Yes. I have so many of them because we had such a long game tonight. And you know I love my cards. but it was like 27 27 and I wrote the word fun with two underlines because that's when to me this game really showed us that these are two truly excellent teams that were just going punch for punch for each other touchdown for touchdown through that period. Yeah and I think they're both going to be a little disappointed by their defense. The bill is how they've played all season.
Starting point is 00:25:04 Look, they were up for the fight in the first half and did some things. But I think Sean McVeigh coming out of halftime was was right on that they basically, had one drive where they shot themselves in the foot, one drive where they didn't have much time at the very end and that he felt good about the offense. And you score five touchdowns and you miss two field goals in a relatively low possession game. You're going to feel pretty good.
Starting point is 00:25:25 I don't think the Rams are like, if there's a problem with them, like the bills are slow in the back end. Like their linebacker position is not athletic enough. And I don't think their safety position is athletic enough. And the Rams are not quite fast. enough and athletic enough to fully take advantage and, like, hit those big plays until it kind of opened up later in the game, whereas the bills are playing without, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:53 a true number one receiver. And they're like getting all their production in the passing game out of the running backs. It's, it's really interesting to think that these are the two best, two of the best offenses in the league. I think they're getting coached up really well. And yet, they definitely have their share of limitations. I do want to hear from J.B. Long one more time on this show, Jordan, before we. get out of here. Devante Adams, who probably misses just like a little bit those games where Puganakua wasn't there,
Starting point is 00:26:17 because he was the one getting like box scores, like 24 targets. He did have two touchdowns tonight, including one that put him a little higher in the record book. Let's listen to Puka rather Devante Adams' second touchdown. In the left half,
Starting point is 00:26:33 third down in goal. Stafford, looking to punch right back, delivers end zone. Touchdown Devonte Adams. He ties Larry. Fitzgerald with his 100 and 21st career touchdown reception six all time
Starting point is 00:26:51 his second tonight gives the Rams a chance to tie it with an extra points. I still think like before tonight including the first half like Stafford's been accurate this year and he's been making some wonky decision so I do think maybe the second half of this game could go a long way
Starting point is 00:27:07 because he was feeling it and he had a lot of great throws and just the way he was manipulating the defenders He had them scrambling, and that's why I think this loss to go to two and three is going to hurt so much. It really fits my ultimate agenda with quarterback Island, which is every time we don't have Matthew Stafford on quarterback Island, he then starts playing like an insane person, parentheses, complimentary. So I do think that it is the QB Island bump.
Starting point is 00:27:35 We saw a couple of guys get it who got pulled off. We saw a couple of guys get their numbers who deserve to be on. No, it was, to me, this game was just flat out fun through the second half. And I think you saw very, very obviously and clearly on all over the field for both teams where their obvious strengths that they will try to roll with for the entire season are, where their obvious weaknesses are that I don't think are necessarily fixable. Like for the bills, getting healthier on defense is really what's needed. But even then, okay, you know, what is the next step forward?
Starting point is 00:28:11 to just kind of containing some of those middle areas or some of those seam areas that you need to contain. You know, you're not going to go against a run pass attack when it's at its best is functioning at the high capacity that the Rams could tonight. Similar to the Rams, you know, real concern, that the takeaway was great by Nate Lamb, and he forced two fumbles, actually,
Starting point is 00:28:32 and then the Rams obviously recovered when Aaron Donald recovered the second one. But, you know, the combination of himself and Quentin Lake, there's some bumps there that showed up in the early part of the season. There's some bumps there tonight. And it also was, you know, Jalen Watson not playing fully healthy in the secondary as well. And there was a brutal collision between himself and in Quentin Lake. It is the big gash runs and kind of what do you do to adjust to that? You are going to face running quarterbacks down the stretch.
Starting point is 00:29:04 So and special teams. I cannot say enough about that. So it's like I thought all the teams, you know, this entire game, in totality. You saw these teams at the peak of their potential powers, maybe minus the bill's passing game. And then you saw where their obvious deficiencies are right now, too, which I thought was really interesting over the course of the game. And look, these games do come down to players. And Greg Rousseau has been awesome this year. He didn't have a huge night rushing the passer. I think he ended up with four quarterback pressures, which is more than creditable, I would say.
Starting point is 00:29:37 None of them were quick, did not have a sack on this night. But he's the guy. who, like, as much as we're killing, you know, the Rams special team, maybe it was a lower kick. Maybe the blocking wasn't great. Like, you need one of your best players, like Will Anderson did the other week, to make a play in the game's biggest moment. And Greg Rousseau goes out and makes that play. Josh Allen made play after play after play. Even when James Cook was fumbling, his backups, Ray Davis and Ty Johnson are picking him up in making a play. And how about the season that Keon Coleman's having?
Starting point is 00:30:10 He only had one catch tonight, but I do want to give the bills their credit because they're four and one. It's been a very difficult, you know, schedule to start the season. And they have found a way to beat Detroit to win in Los Angeles. They rebound from the loss to the Patriots last week. And I think overall they've done a good job and they're in a good position to improve. So why not listen to Keon Coleman getting in the end zone? Allen in the shotgun, back to pass, fires to the right side. Wide open Coleman for a touchdown.
Starting point is 00:30:47 There was a rub route and it worked to perfections. Keon Coleman, Agent Zero with a go-ahead touchdown for Buffalo. And that was the moment I was thinking, I hope Jalen Watson's okay after he collides with his teammate. Yeah, right to the shoulder. Yeah, that was not great. But also thinking, man, Eric Roberts, our, our, our, captain here on NFL Daily must be having a great time with his son, Austin.
Starting point is 00:31:16 They were at the game. And yes, this is a reason to go check out the YouTube. You can see this beautiful young boy enjoying the first special teams play by the Bills in this game. The opening kickoff return, and he's clapping, and he's got a big smile on his face. and yeah, Bill's Mafia was out in force in L.A. It was so loud when each team had the ball. And I know maybe Ramos fans don't love that, but I actually think that's a great atmosphere
Starting point is 00:31:51 when it's like that and it's 50-50 and it's so loud. And Stafford's trying to quiet the crowd. It's like, no, those are the Bill's fans yelling, man. They're not going to be quiet. And so very cool that Austin and Eric got to enjoy that one. Well, we got to just chill on the couch and enjoy it. I hope you enjoyed it, Jordan. Yeah, I enjoyed it.
Starting point is 00:32:09 I thought it was a really fun, really great game. And I do love that, you know, his first Bills game happens to be against a team whose special teams unit, Eric gets to hear me complain about all the time. So it really seemed fitting all around for all of us here at NFL Daily. Just like a classic. One of the most entertaining games of the season, certainly one of the best primetime games we've gotten to cover on the season. And a really important one.
Starting point is 00:32:34 The Bills get to four in one. And they're in a crowded mix at the top of the AFC, and they stay in first place in the AFC East. And the Rams are now at a point at 2 and 3 where, okay, you are three games back in your division, which San Francisco is already 3 and O. They went through the division and they swept everyone the first time around. You lost your first division game.
Starting point is 00:33:00 That's a lot of ground to make up with only 12 games to go. So they have a lot of work to do or at best, they will be on the road for three straight weeks in the playoffs. First you've got to get to the playoffs. Let's get out of here. I do think they feel better. And I'm going to take a W for my tiny table take. The Bill's defense did wake up the Rams office.
Starting point is 00:33:21 You got yours right too. I did. With the Broncos. Good job by you, Jordan. Great job on this show, too. Let's just take a deep breath and let's think about Tuesday's show. It'll be me and it'll be Colleen Wolf and we'll see you then. This is an I-Heart podcast.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Guaranteed human.
