The Los Angeles Chargers might have a mini-revelation on their hands with quarterback Trey Lance. Sounds dramatic, but this is the Jim Harbaugh Chargers team that made a trade just before last season to acquire Taylor Heinicke because they weren’t happy with the situation behind Justin Herbert.

If Lance continues his trajectory after Thursday's performance, he has a very good chance to be the Chargers' backup QB.
