The Bengals opened the scoring in Sunday night’s matchup with the Chargers.
But Los Angeles found the end zone first, as quarterback Justin Herbert found tight end Will Dissly for a 29-yard touchdown to give the Chargers a 7-3 lead.
The Bengals got a 26-yard field goal by Evan McPherson to cap their second drive. Cincinnati had second-and-goal at the 3, but an illegal shift followed by intentional grounding induced the club to settle for a field goal.
On Los Angeles’ ensuing drive, Herbert moved the chains after a sack with a 20-yard scramble. Then Herbert got another first down with a 20-yard pass to rookie receiver Ladd McConkey, putting the ball at the Cincinnati 29.
On the next play, Herbert fired a play-action pass to tight end Will Dissly down the right seam for the score.
Herbert has completed 3-of-3 passes for 55 yards with a TD through two possessions.
