Bills Beat Rams in Overtime as Bass Kicks Winner

The Buffalo Bills defeated the Los Angeles Rams 37-34 in overtime on October 12, earning Josh Allen his first career overtime victory. Tyler Bass sealed the win with a 45-yard field goal at SoFi Stadium, where Allen’s wife, Hailee Steinfeld, was shown cheering him from a suite during a fourth-quarter run. The Rams forced overtime by scoring a late touchdown to tie the game. In the extra period, Buffalo lost possession on a James Cook fumble, and Los Angeles moved into position to attempt a winning field goal. Bills defensive end Greg Rousseau blocked Harrison Mevis’s 48-yard kick, giving Buffalo another chance. Allen then helped move the Bills into scoring range before Bass converted the winning attempt. Allen had entered the game with seven straight overtime losses, according to reports on his career record. The victory ended that run. He threw for 210 yards and a touchdown, added 121 rushing yards and another score, and threw one interception, according to game coverage. Steinfeld’s reaction was shown during a late fourth-quarter drive, as Allen ran for a first down and helped put Buffalo near the end zone. Broadcast footage showed her clapping and gesturing from the suite.
