LOS ANGELES -- It was an awkward moment. Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein had made each of his first eight field goal tries this season, including two from beyond 50 yards. But when he jogged out on the field midway through the fourth quarter, a home crowd of 83,679 began to boo.
It wasn't personal.
The Rams had fourth-and-goal from the Buffalo Bills' 4-yard line while down by seven, and fans wanted Jeff Fisher to go for it. Instead, he settled for a 22-yard field goal because enough time remained on the clock. But the Rams never got any closer, as they suffered a 30-19 loss on Sunday at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
"There's always that consideration," Fisher said of going for it on fourth down. "The reason for the points was I was playing to win. We had plenty of time and had three timeouts left. So take the points, get a kickoff, get a drive stop on defense, go down, and a touchdown wins the game for you."
