Andy Dalton throws three touchdown passes, each to a different receiver. Jeremy Hill gets benched for fumbling twice, and his backup runs for 123 yards.

In their first two games, the Bengals have been a handful to stop.

Dalton added to his impressive season start with another high-percentage showing, and Cincinnati quickly ended Philip Rivers’ streak of perfect passing while pulling away for a 24-19 victory over the San Diego Chargers Sunday.

With their receiving group back to full strength this season, the Bengals (2-0) have been tough to hold down.

“It’s our offense,” said Dalton, who has yet to throw an interception or get sacked. “There’s different things we can do. We have a good mix of everything.”

Dalton’s 9-yard throw to Tyler Eifert put the Bengals in control of a mistake-filled game midway through the fourth quarter.

San Diego (1-1) set up the first touchdown with a fumble and never led.

Giovani Bernard took over at running back after Jeremy Hill lost two fumbles. Bernard finished with 123 yards, including a 26-yard run on the drive that ended with Eifert’s touchdown.

“He ran past guys,” said Hill, who had 39 yards on 10 carries. “He ran through guys. He had a strong game.”

Rivers brought a streak of 20 straight completions into the game, four shy of Donovan McNabb’s NFL record. He completed his first two throws, and then was high with a third-down pass to Stevie Johnson.

Cleveland 28, Tennessee 14: Johnny Manziel threw a 60-yard touchdown pass to Travis Benjamin on Cleveland’s second play and connected with his wide receiver again for a clutch 50-yarder with 2:52 in a 28-14 win over Tennessee. Benjamin also returned a punt 78 yards for a TD in the first half for the Browns (1-1).
