The Buffalo Bills can end their five-game losing streak when they take on the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium. Kickoff is set for 4:15 PM ET and the game can be seen on CBS. Buffalo is holding on to a 5-7 overall record and 1-5 away record on the year. San Diego has a 5-7 overall record and 3-3 home record.
Last week the Bills were taken down by the Titans 23-17. C.J. Spiller had 14 carries for 83 yards and one score. Ryan Fitzpatrick also contributed by going 29 for 46 for 288 yards while finding the end zone once and throwing no picks. In their previous game, the Chargers smashed the Jaguars, 38-14. Philip Rivers gave an outstanding effort with 294 yards passing, completing 22 of 28 attempts with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Another strong showing came from Ryan Mathews, who carried the pigskin 13 times for 112 yards and one touchdown.
The Chargers defense ranks 26th against the run, allowing 131.7 yards per game, and may need improvement to compete against the Buffalo running attack.
