Looking at who will call the action as well as what uniforms each team will wear as the Buffalo Bills visit the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5.

The Buffalo Bills suffered a difficult loss to the New England Patriots in Week 4. It was their first loss of the year and sends them into Week 5 with a record of 3-1.

Buffalo will have its hands full as they face the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football, a franchise that’s expected to compete for a Super Bowl. A win would re-establish the Bills as a contender but a loss would take them out of first place in the AFC East thanks to New England possessing the tiebreaker.

For the Rams, they’re off to a slow 2-2 start and need a win to keep within range of the undefeated San Francisco 49ers. There’s a lot at stake for both teams, making for some intriguing football. That said, let’s take a look at who will call the action, who will lead the officiating crew, and what uniforms each team will wear.

The Rams will be in their home blue uniforms with their yellow pants. It’s hard to see this style and not be reminded of their early days in L.A. before heading to St. Louis for a while. It’s a solid look all around and gives us a great uniform matchup.
