The NFL announced the complete 2022 schedule on Thursday, and the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams are officially set to kick off their 2022 season against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, Sep. 8 at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. Their first divisional game will be in Week 3 on the road at the Arizona Cardinals.
The Rams made the Super Bowl for the second time in four years last year and won the Lombardi Trophy for the first time since 1999 with a 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Los Angeles rewarded Matthew Stafford with a contract extension this offseason, re-signed offensive tackle Joe Noteboom and added former Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson. Some notable losses to free agency include linebacker Von Miller and cornerback Darious Williams. The Rams did not make a selection in the first two rounds of the NFL Draft, and they added guard Logan Bruss in Round 3 for their first pick.
All times listed are Eastern.
