The Giants got after Herbert on Sunday and took advantage of their injured front, totaling two sacks and 12 quarterback hits. The pressure foiled Herbert into two interceptions and quite a few throwaways. Safe to say it'll be more of the same until more of their starters return.
Giants vs. Chargers score: Jaxson Dart leads New York to massive upset over Los Angeles in NFL debut
Jaxson Dart throws a nifty shovel pass to tight end Theo Johnson for a three-yard TD and his first career touchdown pass. The Giants started the drive from inside the Chargers' 5 after an INT from Dru Phillips. Cam Skattebo runs it in for the 2-point conversion. Giants 21, Chargers 10
The Chargers commit over 100 yards in penalties and Justin Herbert throws a pair of costly interceptions in a 21-18 loss to Jaxson Dart and the Giants.
Along the way, Harbaugh’s offense asked Justin Herbert to attempt 41 passes behind an offensive line that lost Joe Alt to injury. Behind a line, too, that entered without starters Rashawn Slater and Mekhi Becton.
Justin Herbert was intercepted twice and the Chargers committed 14 penalties in suffering their first loss of the season.

Injuries to key offensive linemen enabled the Giants to pressure Justin Herbert, but there were other worries Sunday, too.
Alt could land on injured reserve after suffering a high ankle sprain. Meanwhile, Herbert is taking hits at a record rate.
Herbert was pressured on nearly 3/4 of dropbacks according to this stat, which is just an absurd amount. Once Joe Alt left the game early, it was basically free game for the Giants' pass rush. The Chargers need to figure out a plan to protect their quarterback quickly to avoid another performance like this.
