In a high-octane battle, the Buffalo Bills topped the Los Angeles Chargers 35-20 in Week 3 of the 2026 season. Both teams entered the matchup looking to solidify their standing early in the year, but it was Buffalo that emerged victorious, showcasing their offensive firepower. Leading the charge for the Bills was quarterback Bryce Young, who lit up the scoreboard with 438 passing yards and four touchdown passes. While Dylan Sampson contributed a solid ground game with 70 rushing yards, it was Young’s aerial assault that kept the Chargers' defense on their heels. On the other side, David Njoku put up an impressive 176 receiving yards for Los Angeles, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with Buffalo's offensive output. Defensively, the Bills made crucial plays that swung momentum in their favor, highlighted by Jihaad Campbell's two interceptions, which proved pivotal in stifling the Chargers' drives. The turning point came in the second quarter when Campbell's second pick set up a quick touchdown for Buffalo, allowing them to build a lead they would not relinquish. Despite the valiant effort from Los Angeles, Buffalo's defense rose to the occasion when it mattered most, securing the win.
