‘Buffalo’s secondary returned numerous players to the lineup this week, and it showed, as they were able to keep Herbert and the Chargers’ passing game off balance throughout the day. The Bills’ front also played well, sacking Herbert three times and performing well in the run game. The Bills held LA to just 76 rushing yards on 24 carries and came up with a game-sealing turnover, an interception by cornerback Tre’Davious White which came with 5:17 to go.’

Sullivan: Bills return to old script in ugly win
‘Yeah, the standard has been raised with this team, as I’ve been saying all year. Even in victory, the Bills do things that make you wonder if they’re capable of a serious run in January, or if they’re a fatally flawed squad that will break your heart in the end.’

Bills Hang On In Sloppy 27-17 Win Over Chargers
‘A game between two of the NFL’s top young quarterbacks was instead overshadowed by defense.’
Buffalo Bills, Cole Beasley get tricky to extend lead over Los Angeles Chargers
‘Beasley joins fellow Bills receiver Isaiah McKenzie as the only non-quarterbacks to throw for a touchdown this season. The rest of the NFL has three such passes this season, according to ESPN Stats & Info.’
Cole Beasley throws TD pass as Bills get tricky; second receiver to throw TD pass for Buffalo in 2020
‘Allen and Bills running back Devin Singletary immediately congratulated Beasley on his accomplishment. Beasley, who was an option quarterback in high school, was converted to a wide receiver at Southern Methodist University. He had previously attempted only three passes in his NFL career, both were incompletions. Beasley’s last pass in the NFL was in 2018 with the Dallas Cowboys while his other attempt was in 2016.’
Bills fend off Chargers for 27-17 victory
‘Most eyes were on the quarterback matchup between Buffalo’s Josh Allen and Los Angeles rookie, and sixth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Justin Herbert, but the contest didn’t end up being the shootout many expected.’
Opinion: Three observations: Run game gets going in Bills’ win over Chargers
‘The run game seemed to finally come alive for Buffalo. The defense made big stops when needed. Tyler Bass was perfect again in the field goal kicking department. Andre Roberts had a few nice returns.’
Opinion: Just how good is this Bills team?
‘Sunday’s 27-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers felt more lucky than it did ugly. But I assure you, it had plenty of both, at times, en route to the Buffalo Bills’ eighth victory of the season to maintain their one-game lead over the Miami Dolphins for the AFC East lead.’
Opinion: Welcome back, old friends
‘I’ll bet many of you expected the Buffalo Bills to beat the Los Angeles Chargers. I’ll bet few of you thought the Bills’ running game and their defense would be the two main reasons why they recorded their eighth win in 11 games.’
Opinion: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Chargers at Bills
‘The Bills finally got the kind of production they’ve been looking for out of the running game, rushing for 172 yards overall on 30 carries, averaging 5.7 yards per-run. They were particularly good running the ball after halftime, amassing 117 yards on 6.64 yards per-run in the second half.’
Bills top Chargers 27-17 for 8th win of season, maintain one-game lead in AFC East
‘The Bills defense came up with a huge stop to start the 4th quarter after the Chargers, going for it on 4th down inside the Bills 30-yard line, were stopped short and turned it over on downs. The Bills offense had their own issues though with three turnovers on seven plays. But just when the Chargers could tie the game at 24-24, Tre’Davious White came up with a big interception that later led to a 43-yard field goal from Tyler Bass to make it a 27-17 game.’
Bills overcome fourth quarter mistakes in win against Chargers
‘”I think the good teams are able to finish with wins,” safety Micah Hyde said. “We did that today. So you could say we didn’t finish, but obviously, we did, we got the win.”‘
Defense steps up in Bills’ 27-17 win over Chargers
‘”The mindset never changes. Once we’re out there, it’s all about taking the ball away and trying to get the offense back to the offense with good field position,” safety Micah Hyde said. “The defense was making plays in the second half, and that’s what we needed.”‘
Bills hold on to beat Chargers 27-17
‘The Chargers throw a late Hail Mary with just a few seconds left in the game, but clock mismanagement by LA leads to nothing, despite being on the one yard line.’
