One of the most surprising developments in the opening window of Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season is unfolding in Orchard Park, New York. The 2-0 Buffalo Bills currently trail the 0-2 Los Angeles Chargers 10-3 in the preseason, and quarterback Josh Allen threw a pair of interceptions in the first half.
Those are both from Genesis Smith, and might just be the second interception of the year.
With the Bills trailing 10-0 and facing a 2nd-and-6 situation in their own territory, Allen tries to go with this post route to DJ Moore from the Chargers’ secondary. But the throw ends up in Smith’s hand, somehow:
This angle of the replay shows just how improbable the interception was, as the ball ends up in Smith’s stomach and rolls onto the field:
Yes, this ends up being a hack:
The first intervention of the day was a little easier, however:
Smith’s second interception was the Chargers’ third of the first half, when James Cook recovered from a scrimmage to rush the first play.
It has been such a day for the Bills.
