Chargers offense struggles despite defense's five turnovers in loss
Summary

The Los Angeles Chargers fell to the Buffalo Bills 24-16 in Orchard Park on September 27, 2026, marking their third consecutive loss this season. Despite a strong defensive performance that included five forced turnovers and three sacks of quarterback Josh Allen, the Chargers' offense could not capitalize effectively. Quarterback Justin Herbert threw an interception in the fourth quarter while trying to find Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Questions have arisen about the disconnect between Herbert and offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel as the team fails to replicate last season's success.
