Bills News: Previewing The Chargers

Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers were expected to be among the dangerous teams to watch in the AFC, but so far, through two weeks, Herbert and the offense have been massive disappointments, and the Chargers find themselves 0-2 after surprising losses against the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders.

The undefeated Buffalo Bills (2-0) are next up for the Chargers Sunday afternoon at Highmark Stadium, and unlike the Chargers offense that has sputtered out of the gate, Josh Allen and the Bills attack has been dialed in, piling up 77 points in wins over the Houston Texans and Detroit Lions.

What can fans expect Sunday afternoon, when the Bills and Chargers meet up for the 42nd time? Hopefully there are no errant weather balloons near the power lines at the stadium. Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by sharing the key matchups to watch and positional analysis as the Bills look to start the season 3-0 for the third straight season, and the fifth time in the last eight years.

Check out the assessments below and then let us know your thoughts on the game in the comments section.
