Stick directed them to two field goals plus a touchdown in an efficient if unspectacular two-minute drill at the end of the first half.
INGLEWOOD — Easton Stick’s first pass went for a 2-yard loss on a screen to rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston. His second throw fell incomplete in the flat, intended for running back Joshua Kelley. His third also hit nothing but turf as he and the Chargers went three and out.Matters improved greatly for Stick in the Chargers’ 34-17 exhibition victory over the Rams on Saturday night at SoFi Stadium.
The Chargers built a 20-7 lead by halftime and Stick completed 14 of 21 passes for 109 yards. Stick and the Chargers got a big boost from their ground game, with Kelley gaining 54 yards on nine carries and Isaiah Spiller rushing for 27 yards on five carries. Starting back Austin Ekeler didn’t play.For Stick, it was a chance to prove his value as Herbert’s backup.
Stick didn’t have the Chargers’ top receivers as targets against the Rams, but he connected with Johnston three times in the first half, including a flawless throw and catch for an 8-yard score that capped a 10-play, 75-yard drive that took 1:31 and gave them a 20-7 lead at halftime.
