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 Youth Tremaine Edmunds Jersey , and Los Angeles nearly ran up 300 yards in the first half. Buffalo’s offense looked better than week one, 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 Dion Dawkins Jersey , 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, 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 Vladimir Ducasse Jersey , 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.
