Ja’Marr Chase’s first NFL TD was a 50-yard bomb from Joe Burrow

Ja’Marr Chase’s NFL career is off to a fantastic start. The former LSU wide receiver is now making plays for the Cincinnati Bengals – as a rookie.

In his first game, Chase has already caught two passes, one for a touchdown, which we’ll see further down. The first sealed a first down for the Bengals deep in the Minnesota Vikings’ territory.

Chase’s second NFL catch is even better. It came in the form of a 50-yard touchdown from his former LSU teammate, quarterback Joe Burrow.

Big things are expected of Chase. He was selected with the fifth pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. While at LSU, Chase won The Fred Biletnikoff Award in 2019 as the top receiver in the country. He also helped LSU to an undefeated season and a national championship.
