Jeremiyah Love, the rookie running back who was questionable for today’s season opener after battling a high-ankle sprain, just threw down his first career touchdown! The Cardinals are already up 7-0, and the guy everyone was watching just showed up big time.
Love’s Electric Debut After Ankle Scare
Talk about making a statement! Love powered in from 5 yards out, capping off a 70-yard drive that took just 11 plays. Remember, the dude was questionable to even play today. To come out and score on the very first possession of the season? That’s wild, man. So far, he’s got 3 carries for 8 yards, but that one 5-yarder is all anyone is gonna remember from this opening drive.
Brissett Dialed In For The Opener
It wasn’t all Love, though. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett looked sharp, too. He went 3-for-4 for 43 yards on that opening drive. He even connected on a sweet 27-yard pass to Trey McBride, keeping that offense moving. Brissett also used his legs, scrambling for 13 yards on two carries. This Cardinals offense, even with a rookie RB overcoming an injury, just marched right down the field like it was nothing.
What a start to the season for the Cardinals, eh? Now the Chargers get their first shot with the ball. Can they respond to that immediate punch in the mouth? This game is already off to a wild start!
