Chargers face 0-3 hole vs. high-flying Bills
27 Sep
Summary
- Bills boast 2-0 record, Chargers start 0-2.
- Buffalo's offense scores 77 points with no turnovers.
- Chargers' Herbert has 3 TDs and 3 INTs so far.
The Buffalo Bills host the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, September 27, 2026, with the Bills aiming to extend their undefeated streak to 3-0. The Chargers, conversely, are looking to avoid an 0-3 start to their season.
Buffalo's offense has been exceptional, scoring 77 points through their first two games while maintaining a perfect zero-turnover record. Their ability to convert on third downs, a remarkable 57.1 percent, suggests a potent offensive capability. Quarterback Josh Allen has been central to this success, leading the team with 582 passing yards and 5 touchdown passes.
In contrast, the Chargers have struggled offensively and defensively. Quarterback Justin Herbert has thrown for 370 yards but has also recorded 3 interceptions against only 2 touchdown passes, contributing to the team's minus-4 turnover margin. Their defense has allowed an average of 26 points and 393 yards per game, including 273 passing yards.
The Bills, despite allowing 31 points per game, have managed 7 sacks, tying for fourth in the league. This presents a challenge for Herbert, who will be under pressure from a defense that gets to the quarterback. Running back Austin Hampton, with rushing touchdowns in both games and significant carries last week, will be key for the Chargers to establish a consistent offense against Buffalo's defense, which has allowed 95 rushing yards per game.
