INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — When the Chargers recovered Buffalo’s fumble on a punt return and punched it into the end zone four plays later to take a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter Saturday night, SoFi Stadium’s large contingent of Buffalo snowbirds fell silent — and the often-outnumbered home fans roared.Giff Smith’s career as the Chargers’ interim head coach was off to an auspicious start in those heady moments. Although it ultimately didn’t last against a playoff-contending Bills team, the longtime assistant was proud of his turmoil-plagued team even after Buffalo rallied for a 24-22 victory on a last-minute field goal.“I think the team responded to the message that the organization and the staff had,” Smith said. “There’s not moral victories in any of this, but they really achieved fighting for each other, and what that feels like.”The injury-plagued Chargers (5-10) were competitive and occasionally impressive while playing eight days afte...

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Josh Allen continues to reach milestones in his sixth NFL season, but he’s more concerned about getting the Buffalo Bills back into the playoffs.Allen did his part Saturday night by rushing for two TDs and throwing for one, but it took a 29-yard field goal by Tyler Bass with 28 seconds remaining for the Bills to escape with a 24-22 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.Allen became the first player in NFL history with four consecutive seasons of 40 combined touchdowns and the second quarterback to reach 50 career rushing scores.“It’s tough because when you’re playing a team with nothing to lose, that’s a dangerous team. We gutted it out and we found a way,” said Allen, who completed 15 of 21 passes for 237 yards with an interception. “This is our playoffs. It didn’t matter how we get them done, just get them done.”The Bills (9-6) have won four of their last five. Buffalo’s playoff chances got some help earlier in the day when Pittsburgh bea...
