    The matchup between the 49ers and Chargers was pretty much exactly what we expected. There were over 20 penalties, including multiple false starts. The teams combined for 4 turnovers, and both defenses lived in the opponent’s backfield.

    However, there was a bright spot for each team. 49ers rookie QB Trey Lance once again impressed, finishing the night 8/14 for 102 yards and a touchdown. He was mobile in and outside of the pocket, showed off what he can do with his legs, and made some throws downfield that had fans very excited for his future.

    The Chargers also saw some impressive things out of Easton Stick, who is fighting for the backup job behind Justin Herbert. He finished the night 10/14 for 85 yards and a TD. His competition, Chase Daniel, was less than impressive.

    Both team’s defensive lines — whether the starters or backups — put on a show. There was a combined 6 sacks between the two teams.
