Summary
Monday night in Los Angeles, Buffalo tries to snap a one-game skid after last week's first loss by beating the Rams at SoFi Stadium.
103.4 is the passer rating opposing quarterbacks have posted against the Bills through four games, with Buffalo ranking 27th in passing yards allowed per game and needing tighter coverage against Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.
2.79 seconds is Stafford's average time from snap to throw — 10th-fastest in the NFL — so Buffalo's pass rush must pressure him early and force mistakes from a quarterback already tied for second in the league with six interceptions.
Josh Allen and the Bills offense also need a cleaner game after turnovers, fumbles and penalties hurt them against New England; similar mistakes could decide another loss against Los Angeles.
