CINCINNATI – Former Utah running back Zack Moss ran in the first touchdown of the season for the Cincinnati Bengals in the third quarter of the season opener.

The score was also Moss’ first in a Bengals uniform.

The Bengals’ week one game against the New England Patriots didn’t play out exactly as they hoped.

Coming in as favorites, Cinci was unable to get on the board until Moss’ rushing touchdown late in the third quarter.

The first four drives saw three three-and-outs and a fumble as the Pats jumped out to a 13-0 lead.

Moss put the Cincinnati offense on his back to break the scoring drought.

The former Ute took four carries for 33 yards, picking up some key first downs before eventually punching in six from the red zone.
