- It wasn’t an easy spot for Giff Smith to be in, being named interim head coach and having this first game against a team like the Bills. But Smith’s team exceeded expectations and fought hard until the final whistle was blown.
- Easton Stick made some great throws, finishing with 210 passing yards while completing 23 of 33 passes. He also rushed for 25 yards and a touchdown.
- Stick was sacked five times. The protection on critical downs continues to be an issue.
- Austin Ekeler ran the ball well, posting 65 yards on 15 carries with an average of 4.3 yards per carry.
- The Chargers played admirably well in Derrick Ansley’s first game of calling the defensive plays. Defenders played more freely, and as a result, they forced two turnovers (one interception and a forced fumble). Stefon Diggs was limited to 29 yards on five catches. Josh Allen threw for just 237 yards.
- Cameron Dicker might not only make the Pro Bowl but also be named an All-Pro after this season. Dicker went 5 for 5 on field goals, including a 53-yarder to take the lead late in the fourth quarter. He is now 24 of 25 on field goal attempts.
