Behind Josh Allen, Bills Take Rams in Hand

The Bills’ pressure kept Stafford from finding his footing until later in the second quarter, when he punctuated an 11-play drive with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Kupp, who finished with 13 catches for 128 yards. No other Rams player had more than 50 yards receiving.

Allen, in contrast, found Gabriel Davis for a 28-yard score on the Bills opening drive of the game and controlled the clock with a deft mix of accurate touch passes and the quarterback’s occasional powerful runs.

With the score tied, 10-10 in the third quarter, Allen took the snap on third-and-7 from near midfield and scrambled eight yards up the middle, delivering a stiff arm to Rams safety Nick Scott that pushed him off his feet and backward into the sideline.

Three plays later, Allen fired a 7-yard dart to Isaiah McKenzie for a touchdown, then confidently walked over to congratulate him.

The Rams ended two of their final four possessions with interceptions, as Stafford tried to force balls to Kupp and tight end Tyler Higbee.
