Sharpe Blasts Rams for 48-Yard FG Call After 37-34 Bills Loss

Summary
Shannon Sharpe said the Rams should have trusted Matthew Stafford, not Harrison Mevis, after Los Angeles' potential game-winning 48-yard field goal was blocked in a 37-34 overtime loss to Buffalo.
Stafford had thrown for 383 yards and three touchdowns without an interception, repeatedly connecting with Puka Nacua, who posted a career-high 17 catches.
Greg Rousseau's block flipped the game immediately, setting up Tyler Bass for the Bills' 45-yard overtime winner and turning a possible Rams statement win into another close defeat.
Mevis' shaky start sharpened the criticism: he is 5-for-9 on field goals this season, missed from 50 yards in regulation, and the Rams fell to 2-3.
Will Sean McVay's costly overtime decision and lack of trust in a red-hot Matthew Stafford ultimately derail the Rams' entire season?
With their overhauled special teams failing miserably, which desperate roster move will Los Angeles make to save their kicking game before it is too late?
