Bengals score first vs. Lions with Chris Evans' first NFL touchdown catch from Joe Burrow
The Cincinnati Bengals took an early lead Sunday against the Lions in Detroit with quarterback Joe Burrow's 24-yard touchdown pass to rookie Chris Evans.
It was Evans' first NFL touchdown, and Burrow's 12th touchdown pass of the season. It was the Bengals' first score on their opening drive of the game this season.
ESPN's Field Yates reported Sunday morning via Twitter that Burrow - who has thrown for multiple touchdowns in every game this season - could join Dan Marino as the only quarterback in his first or second NFL season to throw for multiple TDs in his team's first six games of the season.
