Chargers rally and then hang on to beat Browns

CLEVELAND — Austin Ekeler rushed for a career-high 173 yards, Taylor Bertolet kicked three field goals in his NFL regular-season debut and safety Alohi Gillman had a key interception as the Chargers held off the Cleveland Browns for a wild 30-28 victory Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium.

The game wasn’t settled until Cleveland’s Cade York missed a 54-yard field goal with 11 seconds remaining.

The Chargers (now 3-2) fell behind 14-0 as the Browns (2-3) moved the ball with remarkable ease on their first two possessions. Nick Chubb scored on a 41-yard run on Cleveland’s first drive and Amari Cooper caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Jacoby Brissett on its second drive.
