The Los Angeles Chargers topped the Buffalo Bills 28-21 in a tightly contested Week 3 matchup of the 2026 season. With both teams looking to establish momentum early in the year, the Chargers secured a crucial victory that keeps them competitive in the AFC race. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was the standout performer, tossing for 228 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his ability to lead the offense effectively. On the other side, Josh Allen led the Bills in rushing with 59 yards, while DJ Moore emerged as a receiving threat, racking up 126 yards through the air. Herbert's precision passing was pivotal in maintaining the Chargers' advantage throughout the game. Defensively, the Chargers managed to hold off Buffalo's attempts to rally, with Daiyan Henley leading the charge with nine total tackles. The turning point came late in the fourth quarter when the Chargers' defense stifled a crucial drive, allowing only a single touchdown in the second half, which ultimately sealed the game for Los Angeles. Ed Oliver's 1.5 sacks for the Bills added pressure but wasn't enough to overcome the Chargers' offensive firepower.
