The Buffalo Bills survived just about everything Monday night. In a Week 5 shootout that needed overtime to settle, Buffalo beat the Los Angeles Rams 37-34, giving quarterback Josh Allen his first career overtime victory.
A Back-and-Forth Thriller
Neither offense could be stopped for long. The two teams combined for 71 points, trading scores through regulation before the game went to the extra period. Every time one side seemed to take control, the other answered, keeping a national prime-time audience on edge until the final whistle.
Allen Finally Gets His OT Win
For all his playoff heroics and highlight-reel moments, Allen had never won an overtime game until Monday. He finally broke through, steering Buffalo to the decisive points in the extra period and sealing one of the most dramatic wins of the young season.
What It Means
The win lifts Buffalo to 4-1 and keeps the Bills near the top of the AFC. Los Angeles drops to 2-3 after a narrow loss that will sting, but its offense showed it can trade blows with one of the league's best teams.
Both teams now turn to Week 6. The Bills want to keep their momentum going, and the Rams are looking to climb back above .500.
Final: Bills 37, Rams 34 (OT). Monday, October 12, 2026.
