Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Kevin Wilds preview matchups between the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams, as well as the New England Patriots and Las Vegas Raiders.

All week, the talk surrounding "Monday Night Football" between the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams was that it might be a preview for Super Bowl LXI.

If this does come true, football fans will be in for a treat as the game took place Monday night at the Inglewood Cinemas.

A back-and-forth battle that totaled 35 fourth quarter points, an overtime full of clutch plays, and more saw the Bills defeat the Rams, 37-34 and improve to 4-1. The Rams fell to 2-3, a record no one predicted through their first five games, but they remain one of the top contenders in the NFC.

In a game full of offensive fireworks from Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford, it was Rams defensive captain Nate Landman who made the most important play of the game in overtime.

Allen and the Bills got right into Rams territory thanks to Khalil Shaker's 57-yard catch and run on second-and-long. On the next play, James Cook, who had two touchdowns but committed an early fumble, wasn't careful with the football when he got a handoff from Allen. Landman hit the ball, knocking the ball out of Cook's arms and landing on top of his teammate.

With the Bills scoring the potential game-winner, Stafford and the Rams had a chance to go out and win it all thanks to Landman's efforts.

Stafford did just that, using star receiver Puka Naqua, who exploded for 17 catches on 25 targets for 138 yards and a touchdown, to get into field goal range for kicker Harrison Mewis to attempt a 48-yard field goal for the win.

But just when it seemed that one team would finally end up victorious and have the last word, another team stepped into the arena.

The Rams have struggled with special teams issues in recent seasons, and Mewis, who missed a 50-yarder early in the game, blocked his field goal. The game remained tied and the Bills offense breathed a sigh of relief knowing they could correct Cook's mistake.

Allen took matters into his own hands, rushing for 32 yards on the drive, and Tyler Buss was well in range for his touchdown. The kick was hard, the kick was right, and the Bills celebrated a hard-fought victory that made football fans think of Martin Scorsese's "Absolute Cinema" meme (look it up if you don't know it).

This game really had everything, especially in the fourth quarter when Stafford had to go on his third straight touchdown drive with 1:39 left on the clock and a timeout just to get to overtime. He didn't even need a timeout, as he found Davante Adams for his second touchdown of the game on a great route that left him wide open.

Rams head coach Sean McVay decided to go for the extra point to tie the game instead of going for the two-point conversion. He had a go at it before, but the Rams couldn't convert after Stafford was sacked.

In the box score, Allen threw for 210 yards with a touchdown and an interception, while rushing for 121 yards, just 10 yards short of his score. Cook finished with 111 yards on the ground with his two touchdowns, while Kyren Williams and Blake Corum both scored for the Rams.

From the stars emerging under the bright lights of Los Angeles, to the beautiful scoring dance between these two high-octane offenses, to the key plays that turned momentum left and right, this game deserves another visit for the Vince Lombardi Award.

This was football entertainment at its best and lived up to every ounce of hype.
