SAN DIEGO (AP) — Danny Woodhead scored on an 8-yard run in his first game since September and the San Diego Chargers, whose owner has angered fans by exploring a move to Los Angeles, beat the Dallas Cowboys, 17-7, on Thursday in a preseason opener for both teams.

Woodhead scampered through a big hole provided by the rebuilt line to give the Chargers a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter. He suffered a season-ending broken right ankle in the third game last year.

The game was played two days after Carmen Policy, who is spearheading stadium efforts in Carson, told NFL owners that “the Chargers and Raiders are committed to Los Angeles.” The Chargers, owned by the Spanos family, walked away from negotiations for a new stadium in San Diego in mid- June and are focusing on trying to move to Carson along with the archrival Oakland Raiders.

Redskins 20, Browns 17

CLEVELAND (AP) — Quarterback Josh McCown threw a touchdown pass in his debut for Cleveland and backup Johnny Manziel scrambled for a TD as the Browns built an early lead before losing to Washington.

McCown, signed during the offseason to bring stability to Cleveland’s troublesome position, connected with Travis Benjamin on a 2-yard TD in the first quarter. Manziel ran 12 yards for a score in the second.

Kirk Cousins rallied the Redskins, who trailed 14-3 in the second quarter. Cousins ran for a TD and went 12 of 14 for 154 yards.

Ravens 30, Saints 27

BALTIMORE (AP) — Joe Flacco and backup quarterback Matt Schaub directed firstquarter touchdown drives, and Baltimore beat New Orleans.

New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees was held out by coach Sean Payton. Brees participated in pregame drills, but remained on the sideline after the opening kickoff.

Luke McCown started, and by the time New Orleans got its initial first down Baltimore led 17-0.

Lions 23, Jets 3

DETROIT (AP) — Matthew Stafford threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate, and rookie running back Ameer Abdullah ran for 67 yards — 45 on one play — to lift Detroit over New York.

Ryan Fitzpatrick played one drive for the Jets, going 2 of 3 for 16 yards and guiding New York to a field goal. It’s been a tumultuous week for the Jets, who lost quarterback Geno Smith to a broken jaw when he was punched by teammate Ikemefuna Enemkpali in the locker room Tuesday. Enemkpali was cut shortly after.

Bears 27, Dolphins 10

CHICAGO (AP) — Ryan Tannehill picked apart a rebuilt defense, throwing for a touchdown on the game’s opening drive, and Miami led into the second half before Chicago rallied for a victory.

The Bears used two interceptions by reserves to set up a touchdown and field goal that gave them a 10-point lead early in the fourth quarter.

Miami, 8-8 last season, looked good until Chicago’s reserves made their move.

Tannehill, armed with a $96 million contract extension, played like a big-money quarterback, going 6 of 7 for 56 yards.
