Ja’Marr Chase took some heat in the preseason for his drops. The Cincinnati Bengals were questioned for drafting the LSU wide receiver instead of Penei Sewell.
The critics have been silenced. Emphatically.
On his way to a superb rookie season, Chase is putting on a show Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens in a huge AFC North meeting.
Chase shook Marlon Humphrey after running a slant pattern and turned it into an 82-yard TD play after grabbing the pass from Joe Burrow.
