Chargers 34, Lions 7

Jim Harbaugh is an insane person, so he had several starters on the field for the first drive of this game. This, however, did not include Justin Herbert and Ladd McConkey, but we got to see Omarion Hampton run a few times. Hampton was stuffed on his initial attempt, but then had a nifty 8-yard scamper where he eluded defenders. That was it for Hampton, whose two carries went for eight yards.

Herbert sat, so Trey Lance played the entire opening half. Lance had some disastrous preseason performances in the past, but he was much better in this game. He made a great, downfield touch pass to KeAndre Lambert-Smith. He later fired a dart down the seam to a tight end just prior to halftime. Lance made some mistakes, like he held on to the ball too long on some occasions, but he looked much better than usual.

Lambert-Smith, in addition to reeling in the deep ball from Lance, caught a touchdown from Lance as well on a short toss right before intermission. Tre Harris also played, but couldn’t reel in a single pass on one target.

The other significant rookie receiver was Isaac TeSlaa, who hauled in some intermediate passes from Kyle Allen. However, TeSlaa was targeted on one of Allen’s interceptions.
