After his sensational performance for the Cincinnati Bengals on "Monday Night Football," Ja'Marr Chase got some well-deserved recognition from the NFL.

Chase led the Bengals to a crucial 27-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in their Week 14 showdown. He tallied 14 receptions for 177 yards and two touchdowns, while also carrying the ball once for a 14-yard gain on the ground.

The 24-year-old wideout scored the team's final touchdown, delivering the game-winning catch and run with about a minute left in the contest.

With his remarkable performance, the NFL made sure to honor him on Tuesday. In an announcement on social media, the league awarded Chase the Game Ball of the Week honor.

"When the lights came on, Ja’Marr went off," the NFL wrote along with a photo showing his stats and a couple of videos highlighting his first touchdown against the Cowboys.

The Game Ball of the Week honor is given to the standout performer during every game week. In Week 13, Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels bagged the recognition.

Sure enough, Ja'Marr Chase is deserving of the honor. He was a big reason for the Bengals' win, and with his display, he further solidified his case as the top wideout in the league.

Through 13 games so far, Chase leads the NFL in receiving yards with 1,319 and touchdowns with 15.
