What Each Team Does Well and Where It Has Problems
Los Angeles Rams
What Los Angeles Does Best
Matthew Stafford gives Los Angeles a way to flip field position in one snap. That is the football behind the 90.0 Explosiveness grade.
Lowest-Rated Area
Roster Strength is Los Angeles' lowest grade at 85.0, and it is still a strength. The current ratings do not show an obvious weak spot.
Buffalo Bills
What Buffalo Does Best
Buffalo can change a game in one snap. Josh Allen drives the 90.7 Explosiveness grade, and a spread and motion approach keeps the offense from relying on one kind of big play.
What Buffalo Needs to Fix
Joe Brady is taking over a team with high expectations, and the defense is where the transition could show up first. The 72.5 Coaching Direction grade reflects the questions around defensive-front consistency under a new head coach and coordinator structure.
PFM ANALYSIS
What the PFM Numbers Say
Los Angeles also has more continuity on the sideline under Sean McVay. Joe Brady is just getting started in Buffalo. Myles Garrett gives Los Angeles the defense you would trust more when the game comes down to one stop.
Buffalo can push back on offense when the plan runs through Josh Allen and the passing game stays on schedule. Even so, Los Angeles has the better setup because its advantages on the sideline and on defense point in the same direction.
