Grimm, an undrafted rookie receiver who only returned five punts in five seasons at Kansas, broke through the Rams\u2019 coverage unit and got down the Chargers\u2019 sideline for the score.<\/p>\n<p>Trey Lance passed for 121 yards, and second-round pick Tre Harris had six catches for 85 yards.<\/p>\n<p><img width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/0817-nfl-skinner-color-1100x733.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption\">New York Jets wide receiver Quentin Skinner (39) reacts after catching a pass against the New York Giants during the third quarter of an NFL football game, Saturday, Aug. 16, 2025, in East Rutherford, N.J. (AP Photo\/Yuki Iwamura)<\/p>\n<p>Giants 31, Jets 12<\/p>\n<p>East Rutherford, N.J.  \u2014 Getting snaps with the first-team offense, then throwing for a touchdown and running for another with the backups, Jaxson Dart shined in his new home stadium debut for the New York Giants as part of a 31-12 victory against the Jets on Saturday night in each team\u2019s second preseason game.<\/p>\n<p>Dart was 14 of 16 for 137 yards, delivering on the hype under the lights at MetLife Stadium before giving way to Jameis Winston.<\/p>\n<p>Russell Wilson had his own highlight, throwing his so-called \u201cmoon ball\u201d to undrafted free agent Beaux Collins for an 80-yard gain. The 36-year-old had another intercepted because of a miscommunication with Collins, his final throw of a 4 of 7, 108-yard performance.<\/p>\n<p>While the Giants (2-0) got clicking, questions remain on offense for Justin Fields and the Jets (1-1). He left after two run-heavy series, 1 of 5 for 4 yards, with Nick Folk\u2019s 38-yard field goal the only points the starters got on the board.<\/p>\n<p>Fields and the Jets\u2019 passing offense have mostly struggled to produce consistently in training camp, but first-year coach Aaron Glenn has insisted that Fields is developing nicely and doing all that has been asked of him.<\/p>\n<p>Former Jayhawk Quentin Skinner made four receptions for 48 yards for the Jets, including a 4-yard touchdown pass from Brady Cook.<\/p>\n<p>Packers 23, Colts 19<\/p>\n<p>Indianapolis \u2014 Anthony Richardson completed six of his first eight passes, leading the Indianapolis Colts to a touchdown on his first series before the Green Bay Packers rallied late for a victory in the preseason.<\/p>\n<p>Quarterback Sean Clifford scored on an 11-yard run with 1:31 left to put the Packers ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Former Jayhawk Jason Bean then took the Colts to the Green Bay 31-yard line in the final minute before the rally fell short.<\/p>\n<p>While Clifford finished strong, Richardson started fast. He played nearly the entire second quarter and capped Indy\u2019s best drive of the preseason with Tyler Goodson\u2019s 3-yard TD run. Richardson also took advantage of a fumble recovery to set up the second of Spencer Shrader\u2019s four field goals.<\/p>\n<p>The Packers\u2019 only first-half score came on a 43-yard field goal to end the second quarter. They cut the deficit to 13-10 on Israel Abanikanda\u2019s 3-yard TD run in the third quarter, tied the score at 16 on Amar Johnson\u2019s 9-yard scoring run. Green Bay missed the extra point. Clifford\u2019s scoring run gave Green Bay its only lead.<\/p>\n<p>Bean completed 3 of 7 passes for a total of 37 yards.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#13;<br \/>\n                            \t\t\t\t\t\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Los Angeles Chargers&#8217; Luke Grimm (37) returns a punt for a touchdown during the second&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":299798,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2064],"tags":[241,7,56967,1014,262,2444,2443,6,12774,56969,56968],"class_list":{"0":"post-299797","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-chargers","8":"tag-chargers","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-jayhawks-in-the-nfl-grimm","11":"tag-los-angeles","12":"tag-los-angeles-chargers","13":"tag-losangeles","14":"tag-losangeleschargers","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-professional-sports","17":"tag-skinner-score-preseason-touchdowns","18":"tag-skinner-score-preseason-touchdownssports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115053751719290213","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=299797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/299798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=299797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=299797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=299797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
