Bills vs Chargers: 3 Keys to Victory

After last week's beat down of the Miami Dolphins, the Buffalo Bills are 2-0 heading into week 3. This week the Buffalo Bills host the San Diego Chargers. The Bills have to be feeling pretty good after beating the Bears and Dolphins to start the season 2-0. Nobody (but Bills fans) said the Bills could beat the Bears and the majority said the Bills couldn't beat the Dolphins, but they did exactly that.

It was a game to remember this past week at the Ralph. Being there and helping fellow fans "Rock the Ralph" is gonna be a favorite memory of mine for life. From start to finish the crowd was on their feet and cheering nonstop. It seemed like Miami's best drive came when fans were still returning to their seats after half. I truly believe we, the fans, had them rattled all game long. I'm calling out ALL Buffalo Bills fans to do the same this week!

Defeating San Diego will by no means an easy task. Phillip Rivers is one of the better quarterbacks the Bills' defense will have to face this year. With weapons like receiver Keenan Allen and tight end Antonio Gates, Buffalo's D has a tough task ahead of them. After the Bills D was able to handle Chicago's stacked offense, I like their chances here. Buffalo's D line is going to have to put pressure on Phillip Rivers though and force some mistakes. San Diego's offense can put points on the board when needed so the Bills' offense can't settle for field goals against this team. 3 Keys to Victory

•Pressure Rivers- Buffalo's front four is gonna have to put in work this Sunday. With San Diego's starting HB Ryan Matthews out, the run game shouldn't be much of a problem for the Bills' defense. The Bills' D has only allowed 83 rushing yards a game thus far. Pressure Rivers and force him to make mistakes through the air. •Don't settle for field goals- Against Miami, Buffalo's first 3 scores were field goals. Buffalo can get away with that with Miami, but San Diego has the ability to put a lot of points on the board every week so Buffalo can not settle for them here. Buffalo must take advantage of their opportunities and score touchdowns.

•Win the turnover battle- Buffalo can't afford to give San Diego's offense anymore chances than they will already have. Buffalo Bills quarterback EJ Manuel has only given up 1int in 2 games. This trend must continue if the Buffalo Bills want to beat the Chargers and head to Houston with a 3-0 record where they will take on Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Texans.
