The Los Angeles Chargers outgained the New York Giants 338 yards to 250, ran for 152 yards against a defense that had surrendered 30-plus points in each of its first three games, and still lost. A team that came in 3-0 and favored by 6.5 points left MetLife Stadium on September 28, 2025, beaten 21-18 — undone by two interceptions that produced 11 New York points, 14 penalties for 107 yards, and a single red zone trip that ended with zero points. Jaxson Dart started his first NFL game in place of Russell Wilson, scored on the opening drive, and managed enough to hold on. Every player stat and team stat from the Chargers-Giants game that afternoon is compiled below.

Herbert finished with a 57.3 passer rating — the lowest mark of his season to that point — while Dart closed out his debut at 96.0 on 20 attempts and ran for a first-quarter touchdown that set the tone before Los Angeles had settled in. The two interceptions off Herbert produced 93 combined return yards and were converted directly into 11 Giants points on New York’s very next possessions. Hampton’s 54-yard touchdown run with 1:27 left in the third quarter, the longest scoring run by a Chargers rookie in franchise history, cut the deficit to three but brought the Chargers no closer than that. Six sacks, a 35:28-to-24:32 time-of-possession gap, and a Giants defense that generated two turnovers on a day it needed them most settled the outcome before the fourth quarter had anything to say about it.
