CINCINNATI (AP) — Heisman winner Joe Burrow ran 23 yards untouched for a touchdown in his NFL debut, but the Los Angeles Chargers roughed him up and rallied for a 16-13 victory over the Bengals.
Playing in empty Paul Brown Stadium, Burrow got his first snaps in the NFL and learned the hard way what it’s like to face a tough front line.
He threw a late interception, and Randy Bullock missed a 31-yard field goal try with 2 seconds left.
LA quarterback Tyrod Taylor had an efficient game as Philip Rivers’ replacement.
