Head coach Sean McVay’s Rams are returning to the field where they won the famous Lombardi Trophy earlier this year.

LA will field a mix of veteran holdovers from last season, including Super Bowl MVP and reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year, wide receiver Cooper Kupp, and 2022 First-Team All-Pros – defensive tackle Aaron Donald and cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

However, with the departures of linebacker Von Miller and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., there are a few fresh faces to watch out for.

Specifically, six-time First-Team All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner.

Meanwhile, head coach Sean McDermott’s Bills are returning after losing very little compared to last year’s roster and seemingly improving across the depth chart.

Returning on offense is quarterback Josh Allen alongside Pro Bowl wideout Stefon Diggs and rising receiver Gabriel Davis.

Defensively, a certain five-time first-team All-Pro Miller will make his Bills debut after signing a six-year, $120 million deal this summer.

When does Rams vs Bills start?

The game is scheduled to kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET or 5:20 p.m. local time on Thursday, September 8 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
