  "account": "Rams head coach Sean McVay expressed dissatisfaction after the team's Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills, in which kicker Harrison Mevis was subsequently cut. Mevis had two unsuccessful field-goal attempts in the overtime defeat, including a missed 50-yard attempt and a blocked kick by Bills' defensive end Greg Rousseau. McVay criticized Mevis' blocked kick during a post-game interview, suggesting the kick may not have gone in. The Rams, who had entered the season as a strong favorite to win the Super Bowl, have since fallen to 2-3, and their division rivals, the San Francisco 49ers, have moved ahead of them in the DraftKings Sportsbook. Mevis, who had a 55.6% field goal accuracy in his past five games for the Rams, has now been replaced by Blake Grupe, who has a more reliable 86% career-long field goal percentage.",
