How Bills avoided joining the Falcons in 28-3 infamy

The Buffalo Bills had blown a 28-3 lead. They appeared to be dead when a fourth-down pass by Josh Allen went incomplete in the final seconds Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams at Orchard Park.

Penalty flag.

The Rams’ Darious Williams was called for pass interference and on the next play, Allen found Tyler Kroft to turn a defeat into a 35-32 thriller.

A Rams team had never come from 25 down to win a game. A Bills team had never blown a 21-point lead to lose.

Buffalo avoided joining Atlanta in NFL history as watching a 28-3 lead turn into a historic embarrassment.

Granted, the Falcons’ flop was in a Super Bowl. But, still…

How the Rams rallied only to come up short:

Jared Goff on a quarterback sneak made it 28-10.

Then, after a controversial interception by John Johnson, Goff found Robert Woods to make it 28-17. Kroft was involved in the interception, having the ball ripped from him as well as being called for offensive pass interference.

Goff then found Cooper Kupp to make it 28-23 and a two-point conversion cut the deficit to 28-25.

Goff then handed off to Darrell Henderson, who scored on a short run to make it 28-25.
