These are some key stats for the Los Angeles Chargers, who the Buffalo Bills play in Week 12.
The Buffalo Bills are back after a week off and they will face the Los Angeles Chargers at Bills Stadium on Sunday. While the Chargers are only 3-7, they have played teams tough and the Bills will need to play well if they hope to move to 8-3 on the season. These are some of the key stats for the Chargers entering Week 12.
Offense
Total Yards: 400.9 yards per game (3rd)
Passing Yards: 279.6 yards per game (3rd)
Rushing Yards: 121.3 yards per game (10th)
Points: 26.0 points per game (15th)
The Los Angeles Chargers made a switch at quarterback when Tyrod Taylor was forced out due to having his lung punctured by a team doctor. This opened the door for Justin Herbert to step under center and has played incredibly well so far this season. He is averaging 299.9 yards per game and in five of the last seven games has thrown three or more touchdowns.
While Herbert has been able to move the ball well through the air, this hasn’t stopped the Chargers from being a little more balanced with their offense than the Buffalo Bills. They rank 10th in the NFL with 121.3 yards per game and could be getting Austin Ekeler back this week.
Defense
Total Yards Allowed: 344.0 yards per game (11th)
Passing Yards Allowed: 228.7 yards per game (12th)
Rushing Yards Allowed: 115.3 yards per game (15th)
Points Allowed: 27.3 points per game (24th)
While the Los Angeles Chargers have done a good job limiting teams in terms of yards per game, ranking close to the Top 10, they struggle keeping points off the board as they rank 24th in points allowed per game.
In the last seven games, they have given up 28 or more points in every game. While they have played some good offenses like the Saints and the Bucs, they have also played teams like the Jaguars and Jets.
This game for the Buffalo Bills appears to be shaping up to be a shootout as two of the better passing offenses face off in Week 12.
