The Bengals have two games left before a bye in Week 10. They visit the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football in Week 8 before they host the Carolina Panthers in Week 9. After the bye, the Bengals have two tough road games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and at the Tennessee Titans.

Ja’Marr Chase Scores 4 Touchdowns in Last 2 Games

Chase’s hip injury happened in the first half of Week 7’s victory against the Atlanta Falcons. The training staff checked Chase out at halftime, but he returned to action in the second half. Even with a sore hip, Chase hauled in eight catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns.

At the start of the second quarter, Joe Burrow connected on a 32-yard touchdown strike to put the Bengals up 21-0.

That was definitely the best pass he’s ever thrown to me,” said Chase. “Like that was a dime, bro. A dime!”

The gutsy performance against the Falcons happened a week after his best game of the season. In Week 7,  Chase tallied seven catches, 132 yards, and two touchdowns in a four-point victory against the New Orleans Saints at the Superdome.

In his second season as a pro, Chase caught 47 passes for 605 yards and six touchdowns. Through the first seven games, Chase is tied for second in the NFL in receiving touchdowns with six, tied for fifth in receptions, and is sixth overall in yardage.

The Bengals selected Chase with the fifth-overall pick from the 2021 NFL Draft. Chase and quarterback Joe Burrow played together at LSU and even won a national championship. The Bengals wisely listened to Burrow and drafted Chase in the first round.

In 17 games as a rookie last season, Chase became an instant star with 181 receptions for 1,455 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Without Chase as the #1 wideout option, the Bengals will rely on Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins. Boyd caught 29 passes for 455 yards and three touchdowns this season. Higgins added 31 catches for 455 yards, and two touchdowns.
