The resounding defeat of the current SuperBowl champions (10-31).
The first match of the new course was presented as a significant duel between two teams that appeared on the list of great contenders for the ring.
Win the Super Bowl, while the Rams have retained much of the block that led them to victory and remains a fearsome rival in the NFC.
The SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles (USA), where the Rams won the Super Bowl last February, hosted this inaugural match on a sweltering afternoon in the Californian city and served the locals to present their fans with the Vince Lombardi trophy and the champion's banner.
With a sweeping second half in which they left the Rams scoreless, the Bills signed a fantastic victory thanks to their quarterback John Allen, superb with 26 of 31 passes for 297 yards, 56 more yards covered by himself, three passes from scoring, two interceptions and a rushing touchdown.
Instead, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had a tough afternoon against the Bills' rocky defense -- led by Von Miller and his two sacks -- and went 29-for-41 on passes for 240 yards, one touchdown pass, three interceptions, and was sacked seven times.
The Bills uncontested victory also ended the streak of Sean McVay, who had a five-game winning streak in the first game since he was named Rams coach in 2017.
On his first long drive, Josh Allen confidently and judiciously propelled his offense for 75 yards (9 plays) until Gabriel Davis scored his team's first touchdown and the NFL season.
He did not show much affection for his former teammates and captured Matthew Stafford in the first quarter, ending without Los Angeles goals.
With a field goal by Tyler Bass, the Buffalo increased their lead (0-10), but, little by little, Stafford, who had had elbow problems during the summer, began to the carburetor.
Thus, Cooper Kupp got his first touchdown of the course from a pass from Stafford in an association that shone with its light last year (7-10), and, with a field goal from Matt Gay, the Rams tied the game at halftime (10- 10).
With a 58-yard drive and Allen back at the wheel, controlling the game -even running himself if necessary-, the visitors managed another touchdown thanks to Isaiah McKenzie (10-17). Instead, Allen seemed more and more comfortable.
In the last quarter, SoFi Stadium was left speechless with a fabulous 53-yard pass to Stefon Diggs, which sealed an untouched touchdown to close a perfect night for the Bills.
