Justin Herbert’s 29-yard touchdown pass gives Chargers a 7-3 lead

The Bengals opened the scoring in the game against the Chargers on Sunday evening.

But Los Angeles found the end zone first, as quarterback Justin Herbert found Will Dissly for a 29-yard touchdown to give the Chargers a 7-3 lead.

The Bengals got a 26-yard field goal from Evan McPherson to end their second drive. Cincinnati had the second and goal at the 3, but an illegal shift followed by intentional grounding led the club to settle for a field goal.

On the ensuing Los Angeles 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 up the right seam for the score.

Herbert has completed 3 of 3 passes for 55 yards with a TD on two possessions.
