CARSON
Authentic DJ Chark Jersey , Calif. (AP) Los Angeles Rams cornerback Casey Hayward felt ”a little disrespected” that the Buffalo Bills decided to let
rookie quarterback Nathan Peterman make his first career start against their
defense.
The Chargers gave Peterman a forgettable introduction to the NFL, intercepting him five times in the first half and getting six takeaways total in
a 54-24 demolition of the Bills on Sunday.
Hayward said the Bills were ”tripping” to let the fifth-round pick replace Tyrod Taylor.

advantage of that,” Hayward said. ”When they announced it, I’m like, `OK?
Against us?”’
Linebacker Korey Toomer had a 59-yard pick-six early in the game, and Hayward had two interceptions. Tre Boston and Trevor Williams also picked off
Peterman

interceptions with the St. Louis Rams in 2009.
Joey Bosa had a strip-sack of Taylor in the third quarter, and Melvin Ingram returned the loose ball 39 yards for a touchdown. Taylor, who started the first
nine games of the season, replaced Peterman to start the second half.
”No matter who’s back there, we are going to do what we do,” Ingram said. ”We’re going to try to get after the quarterback, and our DBs

The Chargers had 11 takeaways in their first eight games. They bolstered their fledgling playoff hopes with their most emphatic win since beating the New
York Jets 31-0 in 2014.
San Diego turned its six takeaways into 31 points, but it could have been worse for the Bills. Nick Novak missed a 46-yard field goal following Hayward’s
first interception.
”It felt good,” said Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, who was 20-of-32 passing for 251 yards and two touchdowns. ”The defense obviously helped out
quite a bit. We had optimal field position, but we executed at a much better
level offensively, much better rhythm and flow.”
The 54 points was the most ever in a game that Rivers started, and it was the first time the Chargers topped 50 since a 2008 win over the Denver Broncos.
It was the kind of complete performance the jubilant Chargers believe can propel them back into the postseason chase. Those aspirations seemed outlandish
after losing their first four games
Seahawks Ed Dickson Jersey , including two against AFC West opponents, and seeing the Kansas City Chiefs jump out to a 5-0 start. The Chargers are now only
two games back of the division leaders.
It started with a defense that finally capitalized on opportunities handed to them and created plenty more. Toomer got his interception after Peterman’s pass
hit fullback Patrick DiMarco in the hands and bounced up in the air. Hayward’s
first pick was on a lob by Peterman under pressure, and he got the second by
following Peterman’s gaze and undercutting a route. Bosa planted his helmet
squarely in Peterman’s sternum during the throw that resulted in Boston’s third
interception in two games.
”Sometimes they come in bunches, and they came today in bunches,” Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said.
”We were due for a game like this,” Toomer said.
Still, Ingram sees it as just a glimpse of what the Chargers can do

”We can’t just try to hang our hats on this,” Ingram said. ”There is still a long season ahead of us, and we headed in the right direction, but we ain’t
where we want to be yet.”
