With the Bills and Rams trending in opposite directions, their marquee MNF showdown stands to be a hugely significant game — particularly for Buffalo. Josh Allen's heroics had papered over the cracks in the early weeks of the 2026 NFL season, but they're coming into this off their first defeat of the campaign. And it was a bad one.
Here's how you can watch Bills vs Rams live streams from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE.

The previously hapless Pats took the Bills down last weekend, and it was a late Allen interception that sealed Buffalo's fate. The result was partly self-inflicted, as Joe Brady inexplicably opted to keep James Cook on the fringes, but the Bills defense is, yet again, a complete non-entity. Enter Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua.
Nacua was the Rams' savior on his return to action, going off for 125 yards and a score to complete a much-needed comeback victory over the Eagles. With Davante Adams also roaming the SoFi Stadium field, there's a good chance Stafford will end up torching this beleaguered Bills defense.
Allen racked up six touchdowns and still lost by 44-42 the last time the Bills and Rams met, and we might well get a repeat on Monday. With a series of tough fixtures on the horizon, Bills fans might be starting to get worried.
