Highlight: Austin Ekeler scores Chargers’ first touchdown of season vs. Dolphins

Austin Ekeler got the Chargers on the scoreboard first.

Some things never change.

Even with the prolonged contract dispute this offseason, featuring trade rumors and ending with a lack of contract extension, Austin Ekeler is a key cog of the Chargers offense.

There was perhaps nothing more evident of this than LA’s first drive, on which they gave their running back five carries that generated 22 yards and a one-yard touchdown to open the scoring for the Chargers.

The plunge put LA up 7-0 on the Dolphins.
