Watch: Bengals QB Joe Burrow connects with WR Ja'Marr Chase for 64-yard TD
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase continue to demonstrate why they're among the best passing tandems in the NFL.
With 0:10 seconds left in the third quarter, Burrow scrambled and unleashed a deep ball to Chase, who turned it into a 64-yard TD. The big play helped the Bengals cut the Houston Texans lead to 20-17.
After a slow start, the Bengals (5-3) have won four consecutive games. In their four victories, Chase has logged 35 receptions for 413 yards and four TDs. As a result, his Offensive Player of the Year odds have skyrocketed. Per oddschecker, the 23-year-old has the fourth-best odds (+2200) of winning the award.
The Bengals need Burrow and Chase to maintain their strong connection to remain in the playoff hunt. The New York Times simulator notes their postseason chances will fall to 46 percent if they lose to the Texans.
That shouldn't be a problem, though. Over the past three seasons, the duo has combined for 36 TDs in 26 games.
