On Monday night, Rams failed to close out for second time in 2026

The Los Angeles Rams’ struggles to finish games continued on Monday Night Football, as they fell short against the Buffalo Bills for the second time this season. After building a commanding lead, the Rams lost a 16-point advantage to the Denver Broncos in Week 3 and again failed to secure a victory despite controlling key moments against Buffalo.

Special teams played a pivotal role in the loss, with multiple errors—including a missed 50-yard field goal by kicker Harrison Mevis and a blocked field goal attempt in overtime—that ultimately decided the game. Head coach Sean McVay expressed frustration, particularly over the kicking unit’s performance, calling it “not even close to good enough” and vowing to evaluate the group thoroughly.

The Rams’ offensive and defensive units also share blame, as their inability to capitalize on opportunities reflects deeper systemic issues. With a 2-3 record and Super Bowl aspirations still alive, the team’s inconsistency remains a major concern for fans and rivals alike.
