Watch: RB Austin Ekeler scores first touchdown of season for Chargers

By Gavino Borquez

It was the Chargers who struck first in the season opener against Washington.

Facing one of the league’s best defenses, Los Angeles scampered down the field with ease on the opening drive.

Quarterback Justin Herbert engineered the majority of the production on the 10-play, 75-yard drive but it was running back Austin Ekeler who found the end zone from three yards out.
