Chargers’ Trey Lance Impresses in 34-7 Hall of Fame Game Win Over Lions

Trey Lance, the former third overall pick, impressed in the Los Angeles Chargers' 34-7 preseason win over the Detroit Lions, completing 13 of 20 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns, which positioned him as a strong candidate for the backup quarterback role behind Justin Herbert. Despite his solid performance and a career-best passing grade noted by Pro Football Focus, Lance remains humble, acknowledging both his good and bad plays and emphasizing his growth in handling pressure and situations. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh praised Lance's calm and efficient play during the game, highlighting his potential value to the team. The Chargers, who rested many starters including Herbert, showed depth in their quarterback roster and overall team performance, creating optimism for the season ahead. In related roster news, the Chargers are reportedly interested in bringing back veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen, whose reunion with Herbert could provide valuable experience and reduce pressure on younger receivers. Allen's potential return would strengthen the team’s receiving corps after a strong showing in the Hall of Fame game, where rookies KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Tre Harris also showed promise.
