Audacy • • sports
Key Points:
- The Buffalo Bills secured a 24-16 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers despite committing five turnovers, including a fumble on their first offensive play, highlighting struggles on offense.
- Head coach Joe Brady praised the defense for stepping up and keeping the Chargers out of the end zone after their initial touchdown, which was crucial to the Bills maintaining a perfect 3-0 record.
- Brady noted the offense was not at its best but emphasized the team's ability to win through strong defensive play, suggesting this resilience will benefit the team moving forward.
- Injuries remain a concern, with cornerback Christian Benford sidelined due to a toe injury and quarterback Josh Allen dealing with a left knee issue, though Brady expressed confidence in Allen's toughness.
- Defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis had his three-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy lifted, and the Bills have a three-day roster exemption to add him back before making a roster move by Thursday.
