Week 5’s Monday Night Football showdown will take place at SoFi Stadium, with the Los Angeles Rams hosting the Buffalo Bills.
Buffalo heads into the contest with a 3-1 record after New England handed the Bills their first defeat of the season in Week 4. The 2-2 Rams, meanwhile, will aim to make the most of their home-field advantage.
Beyond the on-field action, the event will feature a lineup of high-profile performers, with a halftime show and a special rendition of the national anthem scheduled before the game begins.
Who is singing the national anthem?
Morgan St. Jean, a singer-songwriter and content creator from Los Angeles, will perform the national anthem at SoFi Stadium ahead of kickoff. She is known for her song “Not All Men,” one of the standout tracks in her solo music career.
St. Jean will sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the primetime matchup between Matthew Stafford’s Los Angeles Rams and Josh Allen’s Buffalo Bills.
Stafford claimed the NFL’s MVP honors for the 2025 season, following Allen’s award-winning campaign in 2024.
Their quarterback showdown stands as the main sporting highlight of the evening, while St. Jean and the other scheduled performers will add to the excitement surrounding the game.
