What happened: Dion Dawkins said the move did not surprise him, saying the standard is to make kicks in the NFL. He said Sean McVay was furious in his postgame press conference and a roster move felt inevitable. The game ended FINAL: Buffalo Bills 37, Los Angeles Rams 34.

Why it matters: Los Angeles has already moved on from Mevis in a special teams shakeup with a replacement lined up. The timing ties the kicking change directly to a three-point defeat. Mevis scored 4 points in the final, leaving no margin in a one-possession loss.

What to watch: Watch how Los Angeles handles kicking duties going forward after the change.
