The National Football League is full of dynamic downfielders.
But Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase should be at or near the top of such a list.
Chase is a walk-off explosive game waiting to happen, and he’s had some incredible moments in the downfield passing game this season. But he stepped it up a notch in this game in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins.
Literally and figuratively.
Chase and the Bengals offense faced a 2nd-and-7 situation at midfield against Miami, and on the play, quarterback Joe Burrow escaped some pressure in the pocket before making a deep throw in Chase’s direction. Somehow, the wide receiver managed to outjump the defender, twist his body toward the football, and make the touchdown.
