Through two quarters against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Buffalo Bills have put together a 17-6 lead. The Bills’ defense is doing a great job of shutting down rookie sensation Justin Herbert, aided by some fortunate dropped passes. Meanwhile, Buffalo’s offense has delivered enough points for comfort, and the special teams is in cruise control. They’re set up well to close out a win in the second half.
The Bills have attacked the Chargers with a steady dosage of designed runs, screens, and draws—a tactical shift from their other games this season. It’s helping to stave off some of the pressure from the talented Chargers defensive line—Josh Allen’s been sacked once today—but the Buffalo’s offense has been less explosive than usual, as a result.
