The Buffalo Bills open the 2022 regular season in one of the NFL’s premier broadcast windows: The traditional Thursday night game where the defending Super Bowl champions get to play host to the league’s first game of the season.

This is the first time the Bills have played in this game, and what’s interesting is that while the Los Angeles Rams won the championship last year, Buffalo is the team that is favored to win it all in 2022, so the NFL really couldn’t have picked a better Week 1, Game 1 matchup.

There will be stars all over the field with Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs and Von Miller (who helped the Rams win their Super Bowl last year) on the Buffalo sideline and Aaron Donald, Matthew Stafford and Jalen Ramsey staring across from them.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen gives a thumbs-up as he arrives at the stadium for the Bills preseason game against Denver Saturday, Aug. 20, 2022 at Highmark Stadium.

“It's just another game,” said Allen, who probably doesn’t actually believe that. “We understand there's going to be a lot of people watching. It's an anticipated wait to the NFL season, so we're excited for it, and I know the Rams are excited for it.
