Lance entered the preseason competing with Taylor Heinicke for the backup job behind Justin Herbert. His 114.6 passer rating across three quarters in Canton made the argument without requiring much elaboration. On the other side, Dan Campbell’s postgame assessment was unsparing: “We turned it over five times and had zero takeaways. That’s hard. Can’t put the defense in that kind of a position.” The Chargers outgained Detroit by 64 yards and held the ball for over 32 minutes, but the turnover margin — five to none — was the distance between these two teams from the first play to the last.
