Chargers head to Buffalo seeking first win as Week 3 absences mount

Official schedules and Friday's status report frame the Chargers' first road game, with six players ruled out.

프리즘코리아 편집국 > Claire Bennett

The Chargers visit Buffalo on September 27 for their first road game of the 2026 NFL season. The team's schedule lists a 10 a.m. Pacific kickoff at Highmark Stadium, with FOX carrying the game. Los Angeles enters Week 3 at 0-2, while Buffalo is 2-0, according to the official game information page.

The Chargers' September 25 status report rules out six players, including tight end Charlie Kolar and tackle Trey Pipkins III. Quarterback Trey Lance and cornerback Rodney Shelley are questionable. The same report lists receivers DJ Moore and Keon Coleman as questionable for Buffalo.

Interpretation

Los Angeles lost its first two home games by identical 26-14 scores, against Arizona and Las Vegas. That makes Sunday's trip a chance to halt an early losing run, but the records and availability report do not establish an outcome. The listed statuses remain pregame designations, rather than a confirmed account of who takes the field.

Baugh and Clark supplied 268 of Florida’s 302 rushing yards against Ole Miss

Florida’s 52–28 win over Ole Miss was built on 302 net rushing yards across 53 team attempts. Jadan Baugh gained 142 on 29 carries and scored three rushing touchdowns, while Duke Clark gained 126 on 12 carries and scored once. The official play-by-play shows two different contributions: Baugh finished longer possessions near the goal line, and Clark’s 45-yard run answered a third-quarter Ole Miss touchdown. Those figures describe this game, not a forecast of future rushing efficiency.

Nebraska's 157–39 rushing edge framed its 31–13 win at Michigan State

Nebraska and Michigan State each recorded 22 first downs, yet Nebraska won 31–13 and outgained the Spartans 157–39 on the ground. The official scoring log shows two early Nebraska touchdown drives, a Michigan State response before halftime and a 12-play Nebraska touchdown drive after a blocked field-goal attempt. Michigan State back Jaziun Patterson gained 54 rushing yards individually, so the 39-yard team total should not be mistaken for his personal line.

Bryce Lovett’s SEC honor spotlights protection behind Florida’s 52 points

Florida left tackle Bryce Lovett was named the SEC’s offensive lineman of the week after the Gators beat Ole Miss 52–28 on September 26. Florida’s postgame account credits him with no pressure allowed across 69 snaps and says the line gave up no sacks. The official box score confirms zero sacks against quarterback Aaron Philo and 302 rushing yards, but those team totals cannot be assigned to one blocker alone. The award adds an offensive-line angle to a result often told through its runners.
