Cardinals rookie Love scores first NFL TD in Week 1 win over Chargers
Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love scored his first NFL touchdown on his first career drive in a 26-14 upset victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Love finished the game with 11 carries for 41 yards and two receptions for nine yards, while veteran Tyler Allgeier led the backfield with 17 carries for 61 yards. The Cardinals, who were 10-point underdogs, used a 70-yard opening drive to set the tone, with first-year head coach Mike LaFleur visibly celebrating Love's early score. Despite Love's strong start, Allgeier took over the bulk of the workload in the second half, suggesting a split-backfield approach for the rookie's debut.
