Drama and controversy took center stage at SoFi Stadium on Saturday night, as the Buffalo Bills edged out the Los Angeles Chargers 24-22 in a nail-biting affair. With playoff aspirations on the line, both teams traded blows throughout the game, but ultimately, a clutch 29-yard field goal by Tyler Bass with 30 seconds remaining secured the victory for Buffalo.
Josh Allen was the catalyst for the Bills’ offense, finishing with 237 passing yards, a touchdown pass, and an interception, along with 15 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground. He etched his name further in the NFL record books, extending his single-season record for games with both passing and rushing touchdowns to 11.
The Chargers struck first, capitalizing on a Deonte Harty fumble and an early field goal to establish a 10-0 lead. But the Bills responded in the second quarter with a pair of touchdowns, starting with a stunning 57-yard bomb from Allen to a resurgent Gabe Davis. Davis, who had been quiet in recent games, finished the night with a team-high 130 yards and a touchdown on four receptions.
Running back Leonard Fournette, recently activated from the practice squad, made his Bills debut with five carries for 15 yards. However, turnovers and penalties throughout the game nearly cost Buffalo the win. James Cook’s fumble in the fourth quarter set the Chargers up with prime scoring position, and Josh Allen’s interception led to a Chargers field goal that kept the game tight.
Despite the miscues, the Bills’ defense made key stops when it mattered most. Ed Oliver finished with two sacks, including one on Easton Stick in the dying seconds to seal the victory. Taylor Rapp led the team with nine tackles, and the defensive front combined for three sacks.
This win keeps the Bills’ playoff hopes alive, while the Chargers’ postseason dreams suffer a significant blow. Both teams showed flashes of brilliance and grit, but ultimately, it was Buffalo’s clutch plays and late-game heroics that secured the victory.
