The Los Angeles Rams fell 37-34 to the Buffalo Bills on Oct. 12, 2026, in Inglewood, California, after a blocked overtime field goal ended their chance to win. Head coach Sean McVay said the defeat was especially painful after his team’s effort.

The loss dropped Los Angeles to a 2-3 record, according to the report. The result also increased scrutiny around the team’s execution after a game in which quarterback Matthew Stafford’s second-half performance could not prevent the defeat.

McVay addressed reporters after the game and described his frustration with the outcome. He said the Rams must recover quickly despite the disappointment.

"This is the one, this stings," McVay said, Los Angeles Rams head coach. "It’s going to hurt but we can’t afford to let this team beat us twice. We’re going to have to regroup and reset ourselves.

It’s been a while since I have been this p***** after a game too. None of it makes me feel good right now. I’m proud of the effort, but none of how I feel is positive.

Other than I’m proud of the resilience and the guts that our team displayed. There’s no, I don’t even know what you want to call it… Congrats to the Bills, and I am excited about how we move forward."

According to hitc.com, McVay had faced questions after the loss, while the Rams continued evaluating the mistakes that contributed to the overtime result. Los Angeles entered the week with a 2-3 record after the defeat.
