Who are the announcers and referees for the Bills vs the Rams today?

The LA Rams may have a record of 6-6, but records never seem to matter if and when the team faces the Buffalo Bills. You see, Rams HC Sean McVay has never beaten the Bills. He has lost both games to the Bills since becoming the Rams head coach in 2017. To find a victory, you have to go all the way back to the Saint Louis Rams in 2012, as the Rams squeaked by the Bills by the score of 15-12.

Since a victory in 1974, the Rams have only won three of 12 games from the Bills. Since returning to Los Angeles, California, the Rams have lost the past three games. So if it is a matter of time, the Rams are long overdue for a win.

The game will feature the venerable Rams starting quarterback Matthew Stafford vs one of the most exciting next generation stafs in Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Stafford is the premier pocket passer, the guy who stands tough in the pocket and will take a quarterback sack in hopes of threading the needle for a game winning TD throw. Allen is the dual threat modern quarterback. He can beat you with his arms and his legs.

Gearing up for Sunday.

This game may not be as lopsided as you may think. The Rams are improving each week. And if this week's bold predictions come true, the Rams could very likely be the victors.

Announcers for Bills vs Rams

Lead Play-by-Play Announcer: Kevin Burkhardt
Color Commentator: Tom Brady
Sideline Reporters: Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi

This is the first opportunity to see former NFL QB Tom Brady work in the broadcast booth. While the results of Brady broadcasts are mixed, here is one lucid discussion about him from the Dan Patrick Show:

DP shares his reaction to Tom Brady's debut in the broadcast booth:

"There were pauses, his cadence wasn't smooth, there was very little synchronicity. He needed to be more of like he's at the line of scrimmage... You need to see it, say it, get out." pic.twitter.com/54N6d2qWi2

I haven't seen him or heard him yet. But it certainly seems like he is not a natural broadcaster. Of course, there is a lot of difference between the first game of the season to Week 14. Enter with an open mind.

Referees for Rams vs Saints

Head Referee: Craig Wrolstad

This is Craig Wrolstad's 11th season as NFL referee. As we have witnessed so far this season, experience at officiating NFL games no longer equates to cleanly called games without controversy. Wrolstad's crew has not handled the Rams this season, but it has seen its fair share of important games.

Full officiating crew

Head Referee: Craig Wrolstad
Umpire: Steve Woods
Down Judge: Danny Shot
Line Judge: Brett Bergman
Field Judge: Jeff Shears
Side Judge: Frank Steratore
Back Judge: Rick Martinez
Replay Official: Gavin Anderson
Replay Assistant: Ken Hall

If you want a game to run naturally with few penalties, this is unlikely to happen. You see, in 2024 Craig Wrolstad's crew typically tosses an average of 14.08 penalties per game and walks off an average of 116.08 penalty yards. That is measurably more than the NFL average of 12.77 penalties per game and 103.55 penalty yards.
