This was INSANE to watch...

Oh my goodness. What in the world did we just witness? That was an instant classic in Los Angeles. And the best part is the Bills actually won. We never win games like these. And you know what? They tried. They really tried their hardest to blow this one too. But by some miracle, the Bills came out on top. I cannot believe it. There is so much to talk about. So welcome in everybody to Bills Digest I'm Ben Volker and here at Bills Digest we've got you covered with all things related to the Buffalo Bills even crazy wins like this so if you don't want to miss a thing make sure hit subscribe so that you can stay up to date on all Bills content just like this and if you are as fired up and as excited after that win leave a go Bills in the comments and let me know how excited you are about this win let's jump right into things here because what just to happen in Los Angeles is absolutely crazy the Bills won by a final score of 37 to 34 in overtime that's right an overtime win in the Josh Allen era can you believe it maybe things are finally starting to actually change and I think this probability chart here from ESPN really sums it up the best it was pretty it was a pretty normal game going into the fourth quarter but then everything changed you can see those big swings the Bills the the black spikes at the top the Rams the big blue spike at the bottom and we were going to dive right into this because look going into the fourth quarter like I said this was a relatively normal game I the Bills were winning 19 to 15 but I was talking I was talking with my dad I said well he said actually he said this game's gonna end up in the 30s and I was like yeah yeah it is because it's the Bills and the Rams and Of course, that's exactly what happened, because in the fourth quarter, fireworks erupted. This was every drive of the fourth quarter, which ended in a touchdown. The Rams marched down the field, took the lead, Rams touchdown. Bills did the same thing. Rams, right back. And then the Bills, methodically for once, marched down the field. It was great. Clock management, for the most part, got them within the two-minute warning. everything was looking good and then they scored a touchdown and then the Rams came right back and tied it up and sent us to overtime but let's focus on that second Bills touchdown drive here because I'm curious what you guys think about this decision from James Cook to score the touchdown here it looks like on the broadcast that Joe Brady wasn't very happy about it but honestly in the moment I do think that this was the right call you don't know if you're going to make the field goal you have to take the points while the points are there and hope and hope and hope that your defense can make a stop obviously the defense could not make a stop the rams marched right down the field and scored immediately and but in in the moment i thought that it was the right call because like i said who knows where you're gonna get those points take the touchdown and the worst the rams can do is tie it up but of course the rams did exactly that matthew stafford hook and Puka Nacua, Devontae Adams. They marched down the field right down to the two-yard line and gave it to Kyron Williams to punch it in for a touchdown and of course send this game into overtime and everybody everybody in Bills Mafia we know overtime has not been a specialty for this team in the Josh Allen era but they got the ball. They were marching down the field and then you can see it there the James Cook fumble man man man that was when I thought this is it it's just like every other every other year McDermott it doesn't matter if he's not there he's haunting us Josh Allen does everything he can and everybody else finds a way to blow it once again obviously we know that that did not happen the Bills ended up winning this game but in the moment it was very very dire So the Rams, of course, march down the field. It looks like they are going to set up the game. Winning field goal outcomes there. Big boy kicker Harrison Mevis. Enter Greg Russo, baby. Blocked kick. Saves the game for the Bills. Gives them another chance. I could not believe this. We never get these breaks. We never, ever, ever get these breaks. But for once, for once, for once, things went the Bills' way. Can you believe it? It is absolutely insane to me that Greg Russo was able to block this kick. Now, if you do watch the play, I do think that Mevis was going to shank the kick in slow motion. It looked like that thing was headed way in the wrong direction. but Greg Russo got his fingers on it and blocked the kick and gave the Bills another chance so they marched down the field and bring in Tyler Bass at the two-minute warning now this is where I was getting a little nervous because it was second and ten they definitely could have run the clock down a little bit more just in case Tyler Bass missed the field goal because look The defense could not stop anybody. That is very abundantly clear. And we're probably going to talk about that a lot more throughout the week. But for now, we are keeping it positive because we won and the vibes are high. So the defense will get a slight pass for now. But it was a two-minute warning. We were all thinking, you got to run down the clock. At least run two more plays. It's second down. Run down the clock. The Rams were out of timeouts. you can bring this thing down so even if even if Tyler Bass misses the field goal we can at least try to get out of there with a tie nope Joe Brady brings out Tyler Bass and he nails it all of this all this just this entire game these are these are where the Bills lose in previous years this was so reminiscent of last year's Broncos playoff game it was so reminiscent of the 13 the dreaded 13 seconds game that's really the one that was very reminiscent I'm sure all of you guys were thinking that too and everybody knows what happened at the end of that game the Bills ended up losing in overtime and look Josh Allen the entire first half was not good I believe he had only four completions for 60 yards and 40 of those yards came on a Ty Johnson screen but he put on the cape when it mattered he certainly did let's go ahead pull up Josh Allen's stats here you can see those 210 passing yards he really locked in uh passing touchdown to Keon Coleman Keon getting in the end zone once again and then it's those rushing numbers that really really pop out another rushing touchdown five straight games with a rushing touchdown and 121 rushing yards are you kidding me yeah the Rams could not stop the run and that was a big big key to the Bills winning this game let's go ahead pull up James Cook's numbers here because look take away the fumble that he had James Cook had a phenomenal game 20 carries 113 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns when you've got Josh Allen and James Cook operating on a high level this team is hard to beat although the defense has tried to really really prove them wrong on that front but yeah let's talk about James Cook because there was one more fumble earlier in the game was recovered by the Bills but it made you think oh man James Cook he's got he's got a fumble problem and he needs to get under the under control because he's such a good running back you can see the stats on the screen right there we know what he is capable of but it's the fumbles it's the costly fumbles that's what we were thinking after the first James Cook fumble that was recovered and then he fumbles again and Aaron Donald recovers it of course so look I'm trying to keep it positive but we got to get those fumbles under control James Cook because he is such a good running back when he doesn't fumble but we're keeping it positive here because Josh Allen wins his first ever game in overtime I can't believe year nine and he's only now winning his first ever game but look the team this is what Josh Allen said after the game. The team, they kept fighting and we found a way to win. They certainly did. Josh Allen gets his first overtime win. The Bills outslug the Rams and it just feels so good. It's like a big, big weight lifted off our shoulders that the Bills won a game in overtime and maybe, maybe, maybe it means that things are finally starting to change in Buffalo. Yes, there was a lot to improve on from this game but at the end of the day the Bills are four and one they are still in first place in the AFC East and they've got a massive win over the Rams under but we'll be dissecting everything else about this game throughout the week so make sure to keep an eye on that and we will also be previewing the Raiders later on the week so keep your eye out for that keep it right here on Bills Digest for more Bills content as always Thanks for watching, and of course, Go Bills!
