Los Angeles Chargers 31, Buffalo Bills 20 Analyst Takeaways While the second half didn’t go their way, it was the dominance of Philip Rivers and the passing game in the first half that left the Bills chasing.
The veteran pass rusher did not disappoint against Buffalo as he was constantly in the Bills backfield, hurrying quarterback Josh Allen.
Ingram also made an impact in the running game.
There were some ill-advised decisions including his interceptions; however, there were also some jaw-dropping passes which highlighted his arm strength, mainly his long pass to Zay Jones which traveled 55 yards in the air from the line of scrimmage.
Allen didn’t have an easy job as he was playing behind a Buffalo offensive line that was very inconsistent against Los Angeles.
While there were some plays in which they provided him with more than three seconds to find an open target, the unit missed several assignments both in pass protection and in the running game which prevented the Bills offense from getting into a rhythm all afternoon.
Keys to the game Los Angeles: The Chargers got off to a fast start and an efficient offensive outing proved just too much for the Bills.
Buffalo: Buffalo’s coverage did little to slow the Chargers’ passing attack.
