‘“Even when they had the ball, I was just thinking, ‘We still have a chance, we still have a chance.’ Just sticking to my routine, I think, and just trusting my routine and going out there and doing my 1/11th,” Bass said in the victorious visitor’s locker room after the game.’

Can the Bills’ defense improve? These plays from their OT win provide glimmer of hope
‘Nacua had two carries for 9 yards. The Rams’ tandem of backs, Kyren Williams and Blake Corum, combined for just 68 yards on 21 carries. Los Angeles averaged 3.3 yards per rush. Its rushing success rate was its lowest of the season and worst since the start of the 2025 season.’
Josh was Josh on Monday night. Sadly, Troy Aikman was Troy Aikman | Alan Pergament

Rams starter pays price for punching Buffalo Bills’ Bradley Chubb after OT thriller
‘Just hours after Jackson hit Buffalo Bills outside linebacker Bradley Chubb postgame, the league has reportedly suspended the Rams’ starting tackle for the next two games. Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team was the first to report the suspension. Jackson will miss the Rams’ matchups against the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders. Although both matchups are very winnable, they will be a bit more difficult without Jackson in the lineup.’
Bills power rankings roundup: Where Buffalo ranks after overtime win over Rams
‘QB Josh Allen has proven he can win in overtime. Does that mean he can win in overtime in January? Maybe even February? Monday night’s rousing defeat of the Rams feels like one that could count for a lot more than just a mere Week 5 victory.’
Bills defense reaching danger zone after posting another clunker against Rams
‘How lucky were the Bills to escape? The Rams became the first team in NFL history to lose despite having 400 total yards, 30 first downs, five touchdowns, a 50% third-down conversion rate and no turnovers.’
Tale of the tape: Josh Allen’s legs jumpstart Bills while passing game sputtered vs. Rams
‘It didn’t matter if the Rams were playing man-to-man or zone coverages, Allen was able to break containment consistently. And the Rams never made an adjustment to keep him in the pocket as the Patriots did, knowing his propensity to escape to his right.’
Bills coach boldly threatens star James Cook of ‘consequences’ notice as fumble issue persists
‘If Cook were to lose carries, Ray Davis and Ty Johnson slot in behind him on the depth chart and could get more action. But because of quarterback Josh Allen’s ability to run and Cook is entrenched as RB1, neither of those two has registered more than four attempts this season.’
How Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills Survived the NFL’s Game of the Year
‘But Monday night’s game showed why Allen has reversed that this year. With a struggling receiver group hurt by the absence of No. 1 option D.J. Moore, Allen had little choice but to shoulder more of the burden. At halftime, Allen had only 60 passing yards with an interception and no touchdowns. So late in the game, Allen decided to make plays on his own.’

‘“Listen, when it’s there, it’s there,” Allen said of his willingness to run. “I don’t want to make a living in that. I understand that. But I do know how much of a backbreaker that can be on a defense when you feel like you’re in a pretty good coverage.”’
How Bills QB Josh Allen has become a star on and off the field
‘”Some athletes will be like ‘I’ll give you three throws’ or ‘I’ll kick the ball four times’ or ‘I’ll run at no more than 50%’ or whatever,” said Alex Bower, former creative director at TBWA/Chiat/Day who wrote Allen’s 2024 Gatorade campaign. “Josh, we shot him in L.A., it was a hot day. He gave us a lot of takes of him running lines and throwing the ball full pelt. He committed. We kind of used his shots heavily in the edit because it looked real because he was giving it 100%.”‘
Bills’ Joe Brady warns RB James Cook of ‘consequences’ for costly fumbles
‘”Look, he’s doing so many good things running the football,” Brady told reporters from the Bills’ hotel outside Los Angeles on Tuesday. “I don’t want to lose sight of how great he is running the ball right now. But putting the ball on the ground, it’s negating all the positive. I have all the confidence in him. That’s why I put him right back out there. But obviously, at some point there has to be consequences to when we’re putting negative stuff out there. It’s going to cost us football games. It almost cost us one. We can’t confuse because we won the game that that’s OK. It’s got to improve or the carries are going to decrease.”‘
Bills’ Joe Brady threatens playing time ‘consequences’ for James Cook III over fumble issues
‘”Right now, we’re putting the ball in harm’s way,” Brady said on Tuesday. “We know the way that we lose football games is we turn the ball over. Our two best players turned the ball over last night. James put the ball on the ground. Look, he’s doing so many good things running the football. I don’t want to lose sight of how great he’s running the ball right now. But we’re putting the ball on the ground, and it’s negating all the positive.”‘
