First Quarter


The game kicked off with both teams showcasing their defensive prowess. The Giants' defense, led by Dexter Lawrence and Brian Burns, set an early tone by pressuring the Chargers' quarterback and limiting their offensive progress. Lawrence's interception was a highlight, as it halted a promising drive from Los Angeles.


Second Quarter


In this quarter, Jaxson Dart orchestrated a well-executed drive that culminated in Theo Johnson catching a touchdown pass. Dart completed 13 out of his 20 attempts for 111 yards throughout the game. The Giants’ rushing attack was spearheaded by Cam Skattebo, who gained crucial yardage on several plays.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw Kayvon Thibodeaux making significant contributions with his sack and multiple quarterback hits that disrupted Justin Herbert's rhythm for the Bolts. Meanwhile, Jude McAtamney remained perfect on field goals for Big Blue, converting both attempts to keep pressure on Los Angeles.


Fourth Quarter


As tension mounted in the final period, Dru Phillips intercepted Herbert’s pass and returned it for substantial yardage. This pivotal play shifted momentum firmly in favor of New York as they held off a late surge from Los Angeles to secure victory.


With this result in hand—the New York Giants vs Los Angeles Chargers final score being etched into fans’ memories—attention now turns to post-game reflections where players like Cor'Dale Flott shared insights during interviews about their defensive strategies against such formidable opponents.
