National reactions: Bills dominate Rams and headlines
Following the Buffalo Bills’ dominating 31-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1, check out some of the top national media reactions to the game below:
Marcus Mosher, NFL Wire
#Rams CB Jalen Ramsey allowed a perfect passer rating of 158.3 in Week 1, per @PFF's initial grading.
He was targeted seven times, allowing six receptions for 124 yards and 2 TDs.

Bill Barnwell, ESPN
Per @pfref, Bills finished tied for the second-highest conversion rate on third down in a single game over the last 30 years.
Won't be able to keep that up in the weeks to come, but then again, won't turn the ball over four times, too. A very scary team. https://t.co/ivXBhAKL7t

The #Bills defensive tape is even better than it looked live last night. The DL played with ferocity (Jordan Phillips effort was 🔥in particular), the LB’s had their eyes in the right place consistently/were never fooled with play action, and the secondary were ball-hawks!!!

Allen—when used the way @BuffaloBills uses him—most indefensible QB in the NFL

James Palmer, NFL Network
The #bills didn't blitz Stafford on a single one his dropbacks last night. Stafford led the NFL with a 139.6 passer rating when blitzed last season. Stafford also threw 16 of his 17 picks when he wasn't blitzed last year. He threw 3 picks last night.

No team in pro football history ever had a game in which they had at least seven sacks, at least three interceptions, and never punted.
Until last night.

Two Bills thoughts:
-So impressed by Bills 6th rd rookie CB Christian Benford. Both playing that well in opener from Villanova AND Bills having guts to start him over Elam.
-If Ed Oliver & Jordan Phillips play like that all year the Bills will win the Super Bowl.

.@BuffaloBills this throw into a @RamsNFL trap! Not many beat this trap. @jalenramsey @RSherman_25 @bigplay24slay all the great ones hope and pray the QB throws into this hornets nest. Precision beats the trap #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/jOax5XuWqH

Pretty unfair that the Bills have a QB who is an actual buffalo

Taylor Rooks, Bleacher Report
Yea we gotta have a real dialogue about Josh Allen. This man is unreal.

LeSean McCoy, former Bills Pro Bowl RB
Damn buffalo had it rocking out LA…. JOSH ALLEN him

Sam Monson, Pro Football Focus
There isn't a better QB in the NFL than Josh Allen at the moment.
There is no defensive gameplan to stop him
He didn't just pan out as an NFL QB, he hit like the 100th percentile of his possible outcomes. He's a QB'ing Terminator. Relentless. Unstoppablehttps://t.co/C7J1i4jRVd

I’ve seen a lot of football games in my life.
But I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone like Josh Allen with my own eyes. There are no words for this.

Warren Sharp, Sharp Football
tonight the Bills became the 2nd team since 2014 to have at least 4 turnovers but still win a game by at least 21 points
