It’s finally here!
The eyes of the football world will turn to Los Angeles as the 2022 NFL regular season kicks off with a marquee matchup Thursday night.
The Buffalo Bills, who enter the 2022 NFL regular season with big-time aspirations as the prohibitive favorites to win their first Super Bowl, take on the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams Thursday night.
The Bills boast a high-flying offense led by Pro Bowlers Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs, emerging wideout Gabe Davis, and talented tight end Dawson Knox. Buffalo also had the league’s best defense during the regular season last year, and added future Hall of Fame edge rusher Von Miller to make the pass rush even more formidable.
The Rams have high expectations, too, and are led by quarterback Matthew Stafford, talented wide receiver Cooper Kupp, all-world pass rusher Aaron Donald, and lockdown cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
Thursday’s matchup will be the 14th meeting all-time between these teams. Buffalo leads the all-time series 8-5, winning the last two matchups: 35-32 at home on Sept. 27, 2020, and 30-19 in Los Angeles on Oct. 9, 2016.
Buffalo is listed as a 2.5-point favorite on the road vs. the Rams. The Bills will be wearing their blue jerseys with blue pants and white helmet. Here are all the ways to catch Thursday’s game from home:
