Stafford: Rams Were Prepared for Noise From Road Bills Fans

The Bills mafia descended upon SoFi Stadium for Thursday’s opener against the Rams and helped Josh Allen and company rout the defending Super Bowl champions. Buffalo dominated in all facets of the game to capture a 31–10 victory to kick off the 2022 campaign. 

The traveling Bills crowd was raucous enough to force the Rams to use a silent snap count, despite playing at their home stadium, coach Sean McVay admitted after the game. He explained that Buffalo “did a good job being able to jump the count” during the “some instances” that L.A. was forced to use the silent count on Thursday, per ESPN.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford also addressed the Rams use of the silent count, but said that the team prepared to use it ahead of time.
