After tossing 60 touchdowns and throwing for nearly 6,000 yards during his Heisman-winning collegiate campaign and becoming 2020’s No. 1 pick largely through arm talent, Joe Burrow’s first-ever NFL touchdown arrived exactly as predicted: through a 23-yard run. One of many surprises during Sept. 13, 2020’s debut, Cincinnati’s phenom takes advantage of Los Angeles’ middle-of-the-field defensive gaps, tucking and running through traffic, and ultimately, pairing deceptive speed and a juke or two to the endzone. Successful from Day One, in terms of returning the Bengals to competitive play, Burrow shined in a 16-13 loss, challenging the Chargers by producing 193 passing yards (on 23-of-36), alongside eight carries for 46 yards and a score.
