Rams lose to Bills in overtime after McVay's late-game decision
Summary

The Buffalo Bills edged the Los Angeles Rams 37-34 in an overtime thriller on October 12, 2026, after a controversial decision by Rams head coach Sean McVay. With the score tied late in the fourth quarter, McVay opted to kick an extra point rather than attempt a two-point conversion with Matthew Stafford leading a strong offense. The Rams were unable to convert a game-winning field goal in overtime after Bills linebacker Greg Rousseau blocked the attempt. The Rams' struggles continue as they faced criticism for their special teams performance throughout the season.
