275 Passing yards allowed

The NY Giants’ defense was incapable of getting stops against this high powered Chargers offense.

Quarterback Justin Herbert was able to take the Chargers offense up the field as he pleased. His 275 passing yard and three touchdown day was capped off by arguably the throw of the year.

The Giants’ defense allowed 11.8 yards per completion and 8.7 yards per attempt. They were exposed at nearly all levels of the passing game. The absence of cornerback Adoree Jackson was felt heavily today as each of the top Chargers targets was able to get the ball today.

Even with the absence of wide receiver Keenan Allen, Los Angeles’ offense didn’t skip a beat.

At least a portion of passing success can be attributed to the Giants inability to impact Herbert. He was sacked just twice and able to move freely around the pocket and allow for plays to develop.
