Bills Upset Rams in Season-Opening Thriller

The Bills upset the defending champion Rams in a thrilling season-opening game. Josh Allen threw for 297 yards and three touchdowns, while the Bills' defense forced four turnovers. The Rams were led by Cooper Kupp, who caught 13 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown.
