Ja’Marr Chase produced a spectacular touchdown catch for the Cincinnati Bengals against the Houston Texans, responding to a quiet opening game. His acrobatic grab helped the Bengals capitalise on defensive momentum and demonstrated why he remains one of quarterback Joe Burrow’s most important targets.

The Bengals had struggled to score in the first quarter, but a turnover on downs set up an 81-yard scoring drive. Burrow found Chase in single coverage from Houston’s 32-yard line, where the receiver adjusted to the ball near the sideline and kept both feet in bounds. Chase had managed only two catches for 12 yards in Week 1, while Cincinnati led 7–3 at half-time.
