In the Cincinnati Bengals’ 33-27 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase had a subdued performance. He recorded only two receptions for 12 yards on four targets. This outing marks a notable contrast to his usual production, raising questions about his effectiveness in the game.
Chase was active and available, but he barely featured in the Bengals’ passing game as teammates Mike Gesicki (5 catches, 78 yards, 1 TD) and Tee Higgins (3 catches, 59 yards) saw more opportunities. Joe Burrow finished with 254 passing yards in the win. Wym you got 2 catches for 12 yards the whole game?”
No. Chase did not suffer a new injury during Sunday’s game. One fan wrote on X, “Ja’Marr Chase will never see another slip again.
Another said, “I have Ja’Marr Chase and Colston Loveland starting on my fantasy team. One more added, “One of the best NFL slates for props in recent memory ruined by Ja’Marr Chase & James Cook.” Needless to say, I’m getting slaughtered.
