Ja’Marr Chase sets new Bengals record in historic performance vs. Cardinals

Ja’Marr Chase is having a monster day against the Arizona Cardinals.

The Bengals, 1-3, desperately need a win to stay afloat in the early stages of the 2023 NFL season. They opened up a 31-14 lead over the Cardinals early in the 4th quarter thanks to this touchdown catch by Chase from Joe Burrow, which you can see below:

It was the 3rd touchdown of the day for Chase and his 14th reception, a single-game franchise record. He also has 181 receiving yards.

This comes a week after Chase’s NSFW proclamation that he was “always (expletive) open” following a loss to the Tennessee Titans as frustration has certainly run rampant within the Bengals locker room. Chase and Burrow are looking to close this one out and leave the desert with a victory ahead of a home contest against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6, and Sunday’s performance could be the turning point they needed to get things on the right track.
