Rams on Wrong Side of NFL History With Rare Stat From Heartbreaking Loss to Josh Allen, Bills

The Los Angeles Rams made history on Monday night, but not in the manner they would have liked.

In losing 37-34 in overtime to the Buffalo Bills, according to OptaStats, the Rams became the first team in NFL history to reach several significant benchmarks in the same game, only to lose:

Under head coach Sean McVay, the Rams did almost everything right offensively on Monday in what was a back-and-forth contest the entire way.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for 383 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, and wide receiver Puka Nacua had 17 receptions for 138 yards and a score.

Collectively, L.A. racked up 454 yards of total offense and 33 first downs, while not turning the ball over, compared to two turnovers for Buffalo's offense.

Despite that, the Rams needed a last second-score to force overtime, as a Kyren Williams rushing touchdown with five seconds remaining in regulation tied the game at 34-34.

In OT, the Bills got the ball first, but running back James Cook lost a fumble, meaning the Rams needed only a field goal to win.

However, Harrison Mevis' potential game-winning kick from 48 yards out was blocked by Greg Rousseau, leading to Tyler Bass' game-winning, 45-yard field goal for Buffalo.

The Rams' defense left plenty to be desired Monday night, allowing 436 yards of total offense, including 121 rushing yards and a touchdown to Bills quarterback Josh Allen, and 111 rushing yards and two touchdowns to Cook.

However, special teams were the Rams' primary undoing, as they missed both of their field goal attempts and allowed a 70-yard kick return by Ray Davis.

With the shocking home loss, the Rams dropped to 2-3 on the season, and desperately need to bounce back next weekend against the Arizona Cardinals.
