The Buffalo Bills beat the Chargers 24-16, dropping Los Angeles to 0-3 despite five turnovers forced by its defense. The Chargers turned four first-half takeaways into 10 points and managed one touchdown in four red-zone trips; Buffalo scored three touchdowns in four.
The Chargers led 13-10 early in the fourth quarter when Justin Herbert threw an interception to Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson at Buffalo’s 23-yard line. Gardner-Johnson returned it 41 yards, setting up Josh Allen’s one-yard touchdown that put Buffalo ahead.
On another drive, two false starts in three snaps moved Los Angeles from second-and-goal at the 1 to the 11; the Chargers settled for a field goal. Herbert said he needed to play better. The team’s next six opponents are Seattle, Denver, Kansas City, the Rams, Houston and Baltimore; the Seattle, Kansas City and Baltimore games are on the road.
