The Chargers open their road schedule Sunday, September 27, with a Week 3 game against the Buffalo Bills. Kickoff is set for 10:00 a.m. PT.
Buffalo enters the matchup at 2-0 behind an offense thriving under new head coach Joe Brady, topping the NFL in scoring at 38.5 points per game. Quarterback Josh Allen, an early MVP favorite, threw five touchdown passes against the Lions last week and paces all quarterbacks with four rushing scores. Running back James Cook ranks third in the league with 192 rushing yards and leads the NFL with three runs of 20 or more yards. He will test a Los Angeles run defense sitting seventh in the league.
Bills wide receiver DJ Moore is day-to-day with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder suffered in Week 2, and his availability figures to come down to a game-time decision. Moore opened the season with five receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown.
On defense, Buffalo has allowed 31 points in each of its two games, to the Texans in Week 1 and the Lions in Week 2. The Bills are just the third team in NFL history to begin a year 2-0 while giving up 30-plus points in both contests. Buffalo also benefits from extra preparation time, having played last Thursday, while the Chargers make the cross-country trip on a standard week.
