Bills vs Rams Week 1 2022 Game Scores, Stats & Highlights : Bills Cruise to an Easy Win Over Defending Champions Rams as Josh Allen Puts on a Masterclass
The 2022 NFL season is officially underway and in the very first game week, fans witnessed a shock upset as the Buffalo Bills absolutely dominated the Los Angeles Rams to secure their first win of the season. Going into the game, the Rams were the favorites to take the win, whereas the Bills were the favorites to win the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, Matthew Stafford and his men failed to penetrate a watertight defense led by Tremaine Edmunds and safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde.
Josh Allen downplayed the stiff arm in which he flung Nick Scott into the upsidedown, but said he thinks his teammates appreciated it. They did.
“I’m glad he’s on our team, shit,” Jordan Poyer said. “I know you guys saw the stiff arm today — holy cow.”pic.twitter.com/QelD31w14K

The game started off well for the Bills, who had a 10-point lead just a few minutes into the second quarter. The Bills were clearly the better team, but the Rams fought back and leveled the scores at 10-10 by the end of the second quarter, at this point it looked like we had an evenly matched game on our hands that any team could win.

Bills’ star man was without a doubt their quarterback. Allen finished the game with, 26/31 Att/Comp, 353 Total Yards, 4 Total TD. Given how the Bills started the season, it will be interesting to see if they can keep up this level of performance and how far they can go this season. Needless to say, the ceiling is very high for Josh Allen and his team.
