Excerpt: "The Bills could have suffered a crushing defeat after blowing the identical 25-point lead the Falcons once flushed in the Super Bowl.
But a late pass interference call and early MVP candidate Josh Allen’s fourth touchdown pass of the game with 15 seconds remaining kept the Bills unbeaten through three games with a 35-32 victory Sunday over the Rams.
'I love this team,' said Allen, who also had a 1-yard rushing TD. 'Going up 28-3, that just means we’ve got to be better and make sure we’re keeping our foot on the pedal. We have to put that game away. I’m very happy we got the win, but I’m also a little mad for allowing us to dip a little there.'
Jared Goff (321 passing yards) led the Rams (2-1) back from a 28-3 third-quarter hole, posting 29 consecutive points to put his team up 32-28 on Darrell Henderson’s 1-yard scoring run with 4:30 remaining.
Allen, who has registered 10 TD passes and one interception through three games, moved the Bills to the Los Angeles 13-yard line for a fourth-and-8 play with 25 seconds left.
Allen’s pass to Gabriel Davis fell incomplete, but Rams cornerback Darious Williams was flagged for interference, and Allen found Tyler Kroft on the next play for a 3-yard touchdown.
'Disappointing end to a very resilient effort by our guys,' Rams coach Sean McVay said. 'I love this football team. We’re not going to make any excuses. We’re going to use this as an opportunity to move forward.'
Allen, the third quarterback taken in the 2018 draft (No. 7 overall) behind Cleveland’s Baker Mayfield (No. 1) and the Jets’ Sam Darnold (No. 3), has engineered seven fourth-quarter comeback wins in his first three seasons. The Bills have started 3-0 for two consecutive seasons for the first time since 1991-92.
'The NFL, it’s tough to win. No matter what the score is, you’ve got to keep playing,' Bills coach Sean McDermott said. 'It came down to one drive and that’s why we practice the way we do.'”
