Buffalo Bills: Position grades for Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams
Special Teams
Entering this game, one of the key matchups was going to be the rookie kickers on both teams. Tyler Bass was not asked to kick a field goal attempt but was perfect on extra points by making all five. Meanwhile, Samuel Sloman was perfect with three extra points but was only 1 of 2 on field goal attempts, which the missed field goal was the point differential in this game.
As for punter Corey Bojorquez, he wasn’t asked to do much with only two punts but had a huge 72-yard punt that essentially switched field position in the third quarter. Both of his punts were down inside the 20 and the little things like this play a big role in a close game like the Buffalo Bills had.
As for Andre Roberts, he once again had another great game with an average of 36.5 yards per kickoff return. The combination of Roberts on kickoff and Bojorquez punting really helped the Bills win the field position battle.
Grade: A
Buffalo Bills Final Grade for Week 3
For the third straight week, the Buffalo Bills come out firing on all cylinders and build a big lead. However, the second half is a struggle and they have allowed their opponent to get back into the game. In the last two weeks, in particular, they have seen them take a lead in the fourth quarter.
The Buffalo Bills are 3-0 and it hasn’t cost them a win yet but this is certainly a concerning trend, especially from a team that has shown to be detail-oriented and not known for the mental mistakes.

The Buffalo Bills offense, with Josh Allen under center, has looked almost unstoppable and like they can put up points in bunches. They are the big reason why they get the grade they do but the defense has to be a concern and should be the focus of the coaching staff this week.
