The Chargers show improvement on offense and Tony Jefferson shows he can still be a valuable contributor on defense in a preseason win over the Cowboys.
The Chargers made big strides on offense Saturday over their previous preseason games, securing coach Jim Harbaugh his first victory with the team in a 26-19 win over the Cowboys in Dallas. With the preseason over, the Chargers will shift their focus to their season opener against the division rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sept. 8.
Stick, battling Luis Perez to back up quarterback Justin Herbert, started the entire game. Stick improved on his other preseason outings, completing 12 of 29 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed for 17 yards. Still, there were moments of inconsistency. Stick made some errant throws and was picked off at the start of the third quarter. Tony Jefferson, the once-retired NFL veteran turned scout, came out of retirement to battle for a safety spot on the Chargers' roster.
