Trey Lance Makes First Start, Shows Rushing Impact in Chargers' Loss

Los Angeles Chargers QB Trey Lance made his first start of the season in the Week 18 finale against the Broncos, completing 20 of 44 passes for 136 yards and an interception, while also gaining 69 yards on nine carries and losing a fumble in the 19-3 loss. The Chargers were considered huge underdogs. Despite mediocre passing results, Lance showcased his athleticism with his legs. His only touchdown pass went to the opposing team via a pick-six. He will resume his backup role behind Justin Herbert for the wild-card round against the Patriots.
