The Emerald City is still reeling from that 32-29 gut punch the 49ers delivered to our Seahawks, a tough loss at home. But while the 12s were left wondering what could have been, the rest of the league turned its eyes to a “Monday Night Football” showdown that felt like a glimpse into Super Bowl LXI. That prime-time matchup featured Josh Allen’s Bills heading out west to SoFi Stadium to take on Matthew Stafford’s Rams, and boy, did it have some stakes.
A Potential Super Bowl LXI Preview is on the Table
Forget the 2-2 start for the Rams or the Bills’ 3-1 record, because Vegas already has these two pegged as contenders. FanDuel Sportsbook had the Rams as favorites to win it all at +600, with the Bills not far behind at +850. You’ve got the last two NFL MVPs going head-to-head, with Allen claiming the title in 2024 and Stafford in 2025. It wasn’t just another game; it was a heavyweight bout, and the Bills were walking in as 3.5-point road underdogs. Our Hawks are watching these big games too, looking for what it takes to get to that level.
Buffalo Deals with Key Inactives While LA Gets a Boost
The Bills definitely faced an uphill battle even before kickoff. They were missing one of their top receiving threats, with wideout DJ Moore inactive due to a shoulder injury he aggravated last week against the Patriots. To make things tougher, Joshua Palmer was also out. That’s a huge blow to Allen and that Bills offense, no doubt. The Rams, though, got some good news: All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald was back on the field after missing their last game with some back soreness. You know that’s not what Allen wanted to see.
Our Seahawks have to regroup fast after that heartbreaker against the 49ers. It was a tough one for the Emerald City to swallow. While the Bills and Rams were duking it out on national TV, setting the stage for what could be a deep playoff run for both, our focus shifts to how our team responds next. The season is still young, and there’s a lot of football left. We’re always looking for that next game, that chance to prove ourselves, and you can bet the 12s will be ready to roar when it comes around.
