3 key things to know about Chargers’ Week 12 opponent, Bills

Chargers Wire’s Gavino Borquez breaks down Los Angeles’ Week 12 opponent.

The Chargers are set to meet the Bills this Sunday.

Here are three things to know about Los Angeles’ Week 12 opponent:

Dynamic duo

This past offseason, the Bills acquired one of the top pass catchers for quarterback Josh Allen, signing wide receiver Stefon Diggs. This season, the two have been on a tear. Allen has thrown for 2,871 passing yards, 21 touchdowns to only seven interceptions, all of which rank within the top-10. Meanwhile, Diggs is second in the league with 906 receiving yards and right behind WR Keenan Allen in receptions with 73.

Struggling defense

If it wasn’t for Allen averaging four touchdowns per game, the Bills might’ve had some losses the past few weeks. Buffalo has been scorched by opposing offenses, allowing 872 total yards and 66 points. The team has particularly struggled on the ground. The Titans had 139 rushing yards, the Chiefs amassed 245 rushing yards, and the Cardinals rushed for 217 yards, which were all three of the Bills’ losses.

Running game has been put to the side

Even with the duo of running backs Zack Moss and Devin Singletary, the chances of the ground game being a focal point for the Bills are slim. Buffalo ranks 28th in rushing yards per game and yards per attempt and 29th in rushing touchdowns per game. In the last two weeks, the Bills have only run the ball 37 total times. However, the Chargers have been allowing 4.6 yards per carry, which means Buffalo could look to exploit it.
