The 2022 NFL season began with an early season statement of intent by the Buffalo Bills, who marched into SoFi Stadium and destroyed the reigning Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams by a score of 31-10. It’s the heaviest defeat for a defending champion since the 2013 Baltimore Ravens, who lost 49-27 to the Denver Broncos but that game was played in Denver.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen was marvelous, throwing for just under 300 yards, three passing touchdowns, and rushing for another while stretching the ball over Seahawks legend Bobby Wagner.
