LIVE with ESPN on Kayo Sports.<\/a><\/p>\nThe clash featuring the two most recent NFL Most Valuable Players — opposing quarterbacks Matthew Stafford and Allen — had been billed as a potential Super Bowl preview, and after a sluggish first half it did not disappoint.<\/p>\n
On a night in which he rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown, Allen almost single-handedly forced the ball into field goal range late in overtime, allowing Bills kicker Tyler Bass to seal victory.<\/p>\n
Bass\u2019s 45-yard field goal silenced the home crowd at SoFi stadium, who had been ready to cut loose moments earlier as their own kicker Harrison Mevis lined up a 48-yard effort, but saw it dip low after Greg Rousseau got fingertips to the ball.<\/p>\n
Allen also passed for 210 yards and another touchdown across the night, after a first half in which he looked out of sorts.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t think we threw it very well, especially in the first half. But our team kept fighting,\u201d said Allen.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, to the last second, found a way to win. It\u2019s the first OT (win) that I\u2019ve got. So this feels good, being on this side.\u201d <\/p>\n
Victory moved Buffalo to 4-1, while the Rams now sit third in the NFC West on 2-3.<\/p>\n
The Bills got on the board in the game\u2019s first drive with a Bass field goal after a 70-yard kick-off return, and added a second to go 6-0 up.<\/p>\n
Stafford found Davante Adams for a touchdown in the second quarter, to give Los Angeles a slender lead.<\/p>\n
Buffalo hit back, as Ty Johnson received a short pass and ran for a 40-yard gain before James Cook III stormed into the endzone for 13-7.<\/p>\n
With less than a minute remaining Allen had a chance to extend the first half lead but threw a needless interception.<\/p>\n

The Rams could not capitalize, ending a half in which both highly rated quarterbacks were stymied by opposing defences and had fewer than 100 passing yards.<\/p>\n
After the break there was no shortage of touchdowns.<\/p>\n
Rams running back Blake Corum made the first breakthrough, bursting in for a one-yard touchdown.<\/p>\n
The Bills hit back with an Allen seven-yard pass to Keon Coleman, but missed the extra point, making it 19-14.<\/p>\n
Stafford found Puka Nacua for a short passing touchdown, and the Rams missed their two-point conversion attempt.<\/p>\n
Allen executed one of his trademark quarterback sneaks and this time the two points were good, providing the Bills with a 27-20 lead.<\/p>\n

That meant the lead had changed hands six times in six touchdown drives. The free-for-all did not let up. <\/p>\n
Stafford sent a five-yard touchdown pass to Adams and Mevis converted the extra point to tie up the game.<\/p>\n
There was still time for a touchdown more apiece, as Cook rushed up the middle from five yards, before Kyren Williams tied the score.<\/p>\n
Cook appeared to have lost the game with a fumble in the first possession of overtime, before Mevis\u2019s blocked field goal gave Buffalo a final chance which they did not squander.<\/p>\n
But the drama didn\u2019t end there, with Rams player Alaric Jackson appearing to throw a punch at Bradley Chubb following the game.<\/p>\n
Jackson appeared to be exchanging jerseys with a Bills player before words were exchanged with Chubb.<\/p>\n
The Rams star then followed Chubb and got in his face before throwing a punch that appeared to connect, knocking his hat off.<\/p>\n
Teammates quickly stepped in to separate the pair before things could get any further out of hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quarterback Josh Allen put on a rushing masterclass to power the Buffalo Bills to a thrilling 37-34 overtime…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":926398,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-926397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/926397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=926397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/926397\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/926398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=926397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=926397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=926397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
