The game started about as well as it possibly could have with Philip Rivers marching the Chargers offense down the field for a touchdown. Austin Ekeler, in particular, looked unstoppable, and Keenan Allen finished the drive off by getting wide open for a score.
The defense looked a little sketchy at first on the Bengals’ first drive, but they eventually stiffened up and held the Jeff Driskel-led 49ers to a field goal attempt that Randy Bullock converted.
The Chargers offense picked right back up where they left off with Ekeler, Allen, and now Justin Jackson all picking up chunk yardage en route to a powerful touchdown run by Ekeler.
