Trey Lance Shines in Chargers Hall of Fame Win

Trey Lance delivered a strong performance in his debut for the Los Angeles Chargers, passing for 120 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-7 win over the Detroit Lions during the NFL's 2025 Hall of Fame Game. Lance, the 2021 No. 3 overall pick, played the first three quarters and showed poise, especially on third and fourth downs, under the guidance of head coach Jim Harbaugh. The Chargers and Lions both rested most of their notable starters, including Justin Herbert and Detroit’s key offensive players, allowing reserves to see significant playing time. The game began with a moment of silence for victims of a shooting that targeted NFL headquarters in New York, and security was heightened at Tom Benson Stadium. Lance’s performance sparked speculation about his prospects for securing the backup quarterback role and was widely praised by analysts and fans. His showing is seen as a potential turning point in his career after previous stints with two other teams.
