Overview

  • In his latest outing, Lance went 7-for-14 for 55 passing yards and added seven carries for 48 rushing yards and a touchdown.
  • Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh has received praise for refining Lance’s mechanics and decision-making, drawing parallels to his work with Colin Kaepernick.
  • Lance’s agility and poise under pressure have intensified the competition with Taylor Heinicke for the No. 2 quarterback spot behind Justin Herbert.
  • Quiet trade speculation has emerged around Lance’s rising stock and raises the prospect of him stepping in if Herbert suffers an injury.
  • Once the 2021 No. 3 overall pick whose early career was sidetracked by injury and depth chart battles in San Francisco and Dallas, Lance appears revitalized in Los Angeles.
