NFL Week 1: Bills-Rams top plays from Thursday Night Football
The NFL is officially back in action, as the Los Angeles Rams kick off their quest for back-to-back Super Bowl wins against the Josh Allen-led Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football.
Aaron Donald and the Rams will have their hands full trying to contain the Bills’ signal-caller, a favorite to win this year’s NFL MVP award.
On the other side, all eyes are on Matthew Stafford, who was said to have “no limitations” for Thursday’s matchup after undergoing a non-surgical procedure in his throwing elbow and lengthy rehab this offseason.
Here are the top plays from Thursday night’s action.
Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Rams
Whose house?
The Rams were greeted with the warmest of welcomes from their home crowd to kick off the ’22 campaign.
The troupe burst on to SoFi Field while its 2021 championship banner descended from the rafters, and Nipsey Hussle’s “Last Time That I Checc’d” blared over the loudspeakers. The ceremonious moment signaled the start to their imminent title defense bid.
That didn’t take long
Josh Allen and Gabriel Davis picked up right where they left off from last season to get on the board in just over five minutes.
Allen froze the Rams’ D with a nasty play fake, and found a wide open Davis streaking down the right side of the field for Buffalo’s first TD of the season. Allen went 5-for-5 on the opening drive.
