Bills Survive Five Turnovers to Hand Chargers Third Straight Loss

September 27, 2026 - 22:21

The Buffalo Bills escaped with a win at home on Sunday despite turning the ball over five times, capitalizing on timely plays from Josh Allen to hold off a Chargers team still searching for its first victory of the season.

Los Angeles opened the game with a defensive surge, pressuring Allen and forcing mistakes that kept the Chargers within striking distance. But the offense could not convert those opportunities into enough points, and the Bills found answers when it mattered most. Allen steadied the attack with key throws and runs, turning a sloppy afternoon into a result that keeps Buffalo on track.

For the Chargers, the defeat drops them to 0-3 and raises difficult questions about a roster that has shown flashes on defense but cannot close out games. Missed chances, stalled drives and costly penalties again defined their afternoon.

Los Angeles now faces mounting pressure to fix its offensive inconsistencies before the season slips away. Buffalo, meanwhile, leaves with a win it can build on, even as coaches review the turnovers that nearly cost them the game.
