Lance threw for 120 yards and two touchdowns, and the Los Angeles Chargers beat the Detroit Lions 34-7 in the Hall of Fame game that kicked off the NFL’s preseason Thursday night. “Big night for Trey. Just played calm, cool, collected, ran the operation, threw the ball really well,” Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said.

Vying to be QB Justin Herbert’s backup, Lance completed 13 of 20 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-7 victory at the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Trey Lance is scheduled to start for the Los Angeles Chargers in Thursday’s Hall of Fame Game, Jim Harbaugh told reporters Tuesday. Harbaugh added that Lance will play the first half and could play a drive in the third quarter if all goes well.
