There aren’t too many serious roster discussions that come out of the Hall of Fame Game but the Chargers could have an interesting situation brewing at quarterback behind Justin Herbert. Chargers quarterback Trey Lance completed 13 of his 20 pass attempts for 120 yards, tossing two touchdowns and avoiding any interceptions.
Lance looked as good as he’s looked at any point thus far in his NFL career, which isn’t the biggest of sample sizes. In four years in the league, Lance has started just five regular-season games, posting a 56.6 completion percentage while throwing five touchdowns to four interceptions. Even his preseason games have been disappointing, highlighted by the five interceptions Lance threw in last year’s preseason finale for the Dallas Cowboys.
Lance looked like a much-improved player Thursday night. He was poised, tossing his first touchdown on a fourth-down bootleg. On the ensuing Chargers drive, Lance had a perfect touch pass deep to KeAndre Lambert-Smith.
