The early season matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams will be a good early test for the Bills as they look to take that next step in 2020.

After two divisional games to start the year against the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins, the Buffalo Bills will face an early test in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. The team led by Sean McVay is only two years removed from a Super Bowl appearance and still has plenty of talent to compete within the NFC.

Last year, was a down year for the Rams, at least for the high expectations they had entering 2019. They were coming off a season where they went 13-3 and brought back memories of ‘The Greatest Show on Turf’ as they finished second in the league in total yards and points per games.

While the Rams did miss the playoffs last year, they still finished 9-7 and finished with a Top 10 offense in total yards. However, they stumbled down the stretch going 4-4 and Sean McVay made sweeping changes on his coaching staff. He will be entering this year with a new offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator and special teams coach.

Even with the Rams not meeting expectations, this is still a talented roster and team that shouldn’t be taken lightly. This a preview of the offseason changes the Rams made, a key matchup to watch and one reason why the Buffalo Bills will win this game.
