Rams Seek Bills Win to Tie Seahawks in NFC West

The Los Angeles Rams will face the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football at SoFi Stadium with a chance to move into a tie for second place in the NFC West after Seattle's loss to San Francisco, according to sports.yahoo.com. The matchup gives Los Angeles an opportunity to improve to 3-2.

According to sports.yahoo.com, the 49ers defeated the Seahawks 32-29, leaving San Francisco alone atop the division and creating a path for the Rams to catch Seattle with a victory over Buffalo.

The Rams website reported that kickoff from Inglewood, California, is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. PT on ESPN and ABC. Los Angeles is playing its fourth primetime game in five weeks.

The Rams defense must limit Bills quarterback Josh Allen's ability to extend plays, according to the team's preview of the matchup. Outside linebacker Byron Young highlighted the challenge of containing Allen outside the pocket.

"Even if he just gets time to think about running, that's when you got problems," said Byron Young, outside linebacker.

The Rams website reported that Buffalo's offense ranks second in the NFL in third-down conversion percentage at 53.3% and averages 6.5 yards per play, tied for third in the league.

Los Angeles also needs improved offensive consistency after recent games in which the unit produced strong stretches rather than complete four-quarter performances, according to the Rams website.

The Rams website reported that the team enters the game after a defensive performance against the Eagles that held Philadelphia to 0-for-12 on third down and 1-for-4 on fourth down.

According to sports.yahoo.com, Los Angeles has dealt with several challenges, including injuries affecting players such as Puka Nacua and Jaylen Watson, while its next meeting with San Francisco is scheduled for Week 14.
