Cardale Jones relieved Philip Rivers to start the second quarter but produced little in a limited appearance. Lynn later explained that Jones has been slowed by a groin strain.

Geno Smith, who appears to have the edge for the backup job, threw one interception for a touchdown and had a second nullified by a penalty. “I thought he handled himself well,” Lynn said of Smith.
