Buffalo Bills 20 Authentic Tremaine Edmunds Jersey , LA Chargers 31: Bills shocked into submission but dug a massive hole in the first half that couldn’t be overcome in a 31-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Rookie quarterback Josh Allen had an up and down day that included his first career touchdown, finishing 18 of 34 for 245 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions. His west coast counterpart, Philip Rivers, was surgical with a 23-of-27 day for 256 yards and three touchdowns.Much like the Ravens in the season opener, the Chargers ran roughshod over the Bills in the first half. Philip Rivers had a nearly perfect passer rating and threw three touchdowns, while Austin Ekeler could not be tackled, and Los Angeles nearly ran up 300 yards in the first half. Buffalo’s offense looked better than week one Phillip Gaines Jersey , pretty much by default, but they did score two field goals and turn a complete embarrassment into a typical NFL embarrassment.To their credit, the Bills settled down and looked like a respectable NFL team when the second half started. Josh Allen came out and engineered a touchdown drive (the first of the season) on the opening drive of the half, added a late passing touchdown, and the Bills defense held the Chargers to only three points in the second half. If a few more key plays had broken their way, the team could’ve engineered a full comeback. Two forced fumbles were blown dead, and a tipped pass fell into the hands of a Chargers receiver instead of a Bills defender. Josh Allen took a couple risks trying to close the gap, and they turned into a pair of drive-killing interceptions. The Bills will lick their wounds and try to carry some of the positive feelings from the second half into Minnesota next week when they play the Vikings.TakeawaysAllen looked like he could handle the NFL spotlight for most of the game, but still made a handful of rookie mistakes. He misread the defensive front on several plays, which contributed to LA’s five sacks.Tremaine Edmunds took a step back from his great performance in week one. While he tied for the team lead with seven tackles Authentic Jeremy Kerley Jersey , the Chargers constantly picked on him in coverage. He missed some tackles against speedier receivers and runners.To make one excuse for Edmunds, injuries and Buffalo’s roster configuration put him in an uncomfortable position, like man coverage against slot receiver Keenan Allen.Zay Jones nearly dropped it, but hauled in a 57-yard pass from Josh Allen in the first half.Chris Ivory made a goalline appearance to score a rushing touchdown at the start of the second half.The Bills pass rush came to life, and Jerry Hughes and Lorenzo Alexander recorded sacks today.Injury notesPhillip Gaines injured his shoulder in the first quarter of the game. He was replaced by Rafael Bush and with the Bills running more base defense personnel.Taiwan Jones suffered a head laceration when he tried recovering a muffed punt, lost his helmet, and took a hit to the face from a Chargers defender.LeSean McCoy injured his ribs when Ryan Groy fell on top of him on a run. He made a brief appearance in the game but sat out the rest of the day.Rafael Bush was also injured late in the fourth quarter, and was helped off the field. The Buffalo Bills (2-6) have little time to recover from Monday night’s 25-6 loss to their bitter rivals, the New England Patriots (6-2), in Week 8. Buffalo must turn around on a short week and prepare to face a top-10 defense and a first-place squad in the Chicago Bears (4-3) Cheap Tremaine Edmunds Jersey , who (while they are in first place) are—like Buffalo—in a bit of tailspin.While the Bills have dropped three straight games, the Bears have lost two of their last three (including a 38-31 shootout loss to the Patriots) following a 3-1 start. On the latest edition of the new and improved Billieve: a Buffalo Bills Fans Podcast, host John Boccacino is joined by Robert Zeglinski from Windy City Gridiron to preview Sunday’s 1 p.m. Eastern clash at New Era Field. We have everything you need to know to get ready for the game—Buffalo’s second in six days. Boccacino and Zeglinski provided their keys to the game, which has Buffalo opening up as a 10-point home underdog vs. the Bears. Hear what our podcast duo had to say about the game.Among the topics covered on the podcast: the health status of LB Khalil Mack; what Buffalo can do to harass QB Mitchell Trubisky; the state of the Bears’ offensive line with the recent injury to guard Kyle Long; and how Buffalo can attack the Bears’ secondary. A big challenge for the Bills will be getting pressure on Trubisky. When Trubisky feels pressure, he is more apt to throw interceptions. While his numbers (64.6% completions, 1,814 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions) look good, Zeglinski said Trubisky has been a much better quarterback in the second half of games this year. The Bills will have to contain running backs Tarik Cohen (224 rushing yards, 5.2 yards per rush; with 30 receptions for 398 yards and three touchdowns) and Jordan Howard (392 rushing yards Authentic Marcus Murphy Jersey , 3.5 yards per rush; with 11 receptions for 87 yards), along with a passing attack fueled by Cohen, Taylor Gabriel (34 receptions for 381 yards and two touchdowns), Trey Burton (27 catches for 343 yards with four touchdowns), and Allen Robinson (25 catches for 285 yards and two touchdowns). Defensively, Mack’s status is up in the air, but Zeglinski doesn’t expect the all-world pass rusher to suit up. The Bears will still look to get pressure on quarterback Nathan Peterman without Mack. Look for Buffalo’s offensive coordinator Brian Daboll to continue to mix up the play calls (more Wildcat, direct snaps, and shots downfield) to try and counter an aggressive Bears defense that has 20 sacks and 11 interceptions this year. Our experts offered up their score predictions for the game—Buffalo’s first true home game vs. Da Bears in Western New York since Sept. 29, 2002. In that game White Lorenzo Alexander Jersey , Travis Henry caught a 26-yard touchdown pass from Drew Bledsoe just 1:58 into overtime to lift Buffalo to a 33-27 win. Neither expert predicts the offense to match the output from that day, with both calling for the Bears to hold off the Bills at New Era Field.
