Ja'Marr Chase's 32‑Yard Catch Puts Bengals Ahead

Overview

• Chase caught a 32-yard touchdown from Joe Burrow on Sunday, securing the ball with both feet barely inbounds while tightly covered by former LSU teammate Derek Stingley Jr.
• Frame‑by‑frame replays showed Chase planted his right foot, then got his left down in the end zone before going out of bounds, confirming the score on the field.
• The play moved the Bengals on the scoreboard and left Cincinnati leading 7-3 at halftime in a defensive game.
• The catch drew immediate praise from broadcasters and social media and prompted comparisons to Odell Beckham Jr.'s famous grab because of Chase's contortion and body control.
• The touchdown comes after a cautious August knee hyperextension and a quiet Week 1, and it could influence the Bengals to increase Chase's targets while no new injury was reported.
