CINCINNATI — Jordan Love and Sean Clifford showed they can both move the Green Bay Packers' offense, at least in an early test against a leaky Cincinnati Bengals defense with few starters on the field. Love, the replacement for Aaron Rodgers, played only part of the first quarter but was in command as the Packers went on to beat the Bengals 36-19 in the teams' preseason opener. He completed 7 of 10 passes for 46 yards and a lofted a perfect throw to Romeo Doubs for a 9-yard touchdown strike. Bengals star Joe Burrow sat out with a calf strain, though he likely wouldn't have played anyway. Jake Browning and Trevor Siemian split the reps at quarterback.
