‘We’ve got to come out with some urgency’ | Bills react to loss to the Rams

The Buffalo Bills seven-game win streak came to a screeching halt following their 44-42 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon in L.A.

“Credit to the Rams, they did a great job controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball,” head coach Sean McDermott said.

The Bills never had the lead in the game, only tying the game at 7-7 in the first quarter before the Rams took off.

McDermott said after the game that he felt that they lost two of the three phases of the game, being special teams and on defense. The Rams scored their most points of the season, while the Bills gave up their most points of the season.

“Didn’t play to our standard, didn’t feel like we had the urgency starting out,” LB Terrel Bernard said. “We feel like the offense kept us in the game the whole way through, gave us the opportunity and we just couldn’t get it done. So we’ll go back, look at it, watch the tape, learn from it, and get better and move on.”

The defense surrendered big plays to the Rams wide receivers and for the first time this season did not force a takeaway of the opposing offense. The Rams also scored on all three of their first half drives and did not have a three-and-out until the start of the fourth quarter.

“We got to do better job starting fast,” CB Taron Johnson said. “Feel like the previous games before that, we did a good job starting fast, but today wasn’t that for us. Just making sure that next time we come out, we bring more energy, more juice and be ready to play for the first play.”
