Lance throws 5 interceptions in Dallas lossd

ARLINGTON, Texas — Derius Davis ran 70 yards for a touchdown on Los Angeles’ first play, Simi Fehoko caught a 78-yard scoring pass and the Chargers beat the Dallas Cowboys 26-19 in a preseason finale Saturday.

Trey Lance ran for a touchdown and threw for a score but had five interceptions, including undrafted rookie Tre’mon Morris-Brash’s 25-yard pick-6 with Dallas trailing by a point in the fourth quarter.

It could be Lance’s last extensive action for the Cowboys.

The 2021 No. 3 overall pick by San Francisco played most of the preseason — without any turnovers before facing the Chargers — as Dallas tries to decide if Lance will be part of the club’s future.

For now, the expiring year on Lance’s rookie contract will be spent as the third QB behind Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush. The Cowboys traded for Lance last year after he lost the battle to be Brock Purdy’s backup with the 49ers.

Easton Stick was on the throwing end of Fehoko’s long TD, but was just 11 of 28 for 109 yards with an interception otherwise as the Chargers try to sort out the backup plan behind Justin Herbert.

All the starters sat for both teams in a game that was a Dallas-area reunion for the players who scored both of LA’s offensive touchdowns.

Davis played on the TCU team that finished as the national runner-up to Georgia during the 2022 season. Fehoko, a fifth-round pick by the Cowboys in 2021, was waived by them after the preseason last year.

Davis, a receiver/kick returner, took an end-around handoff from Stick and beat everybody to the LA sideline, cutting back inside without getting touched.

Stick, who started four games last season after Herbert broke a finger on his throwing hand, hit Fehoko in stride along the sideline in the second quarter. Fehoko slipped through Andrew Booth’s attempted tackle, tip-toed to stay inbounds and ran free the final 30 yards.

The fourth turnover for Stick this preseason was the sixth interception for Dallas when Stick’s third-quarter pass was tipped at the line of scrimmage and in the secondary before Julius Wood corralled it.
