The Buffalo Bills were a popular Super Bowl pick for many NFL analysts. It didn’t take long for them to show why.

The Bills scored on a nine-play, 75-yard drive to open up their game Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

Buffalo had a 3rd-and-1 at the Rams 26 and ran a beautiful play. Quarterback Josh Allen faked a handoff to Devin Singletary and bootlegged to his right. Then he found Gabriel Davis wide-open for a touchdown.

That could not have been executed any better.

Although the Bills got off to a great start, they turned the ball over on each of their next two possessions.

Maybe the reigning AFC East champs have some rustiness they need to work out too.
