San Francisco, CA — Following the San Francisco 49ers’ 26-19 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, quarterback Trey Lance took to the podium to share his thoughts on the game, expressing a mix of disappointment and determination.
Lance, who has been under intense scrutiny as he continues to develop in his role, acknowledged the challenges he faced during the game. “It was a tough loss, no doubt,” Lance admitted. “There were moments where we showed what we’re capable of, but there were also too many mistakes, and that falls on me as much as anyone.”
Throughout the game, Lance had moments of brilliance, but they were overshadowed by a few crucial errors, including an interception that set the Chargers up for a key touchdown. Despite these setbacks, Lance remained focused on the positives and the lessons learned.
“This game is about learning and growing, especially for me,” Lance said. “I’m trying to take each play, each drive, as an opportunity to get better. There’s a lot I can take away from tonight—both the good and the bad.”
The 49ers’ offense struggled to find consistency, but Lance pointed out that the team is still building chemistry and working on executing their game plan more effectively. “We’re still gelling as a unit,” he explained. “These kinds of games show us where we need to improve, and we’ll use that to push ourselves in practice.”
When asked about the pressure of leading the team, Lance remained composed. “Pressure is part of the job,” he said. “I embrace it because it means people believe in what I can do. My focus is on improving every week, staying locked in, and doing everything I can to help this team win.”
Lance also took a moment to credit the Chargers’ defense, acknowledging their role in making the game difficult for him and the 49ers’ offense. “They’re a tough team, and they played well tonight,” Lance noted. “But I know we have the talent and the work ethic to bounce back stronger.”
As the 49ers look ahead to their next matchup, Lance’s focus remains on growth and resilience. “We’ll watch the tape, make the necessary adjustments, and come back better,” he promised. “This is just one step in a long journey, and I’m committed to putting in the work to get where we need to be.”
The 49ers will need that commitment as they continue their season, with fans and critics alike watching closely to see how Lance and the team respond to this early-season adversity.
