Watch: Joe Burrow hits Ja'Marr Chase for big-time 'MNF' touchdown

Big-time football plays always seem bigger and better under the lights of "Monday Night Football," and Joe Burrow and his favorite wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase just hit one for the highlight reels.

Of course, for anyone who's watched Cincinnati at all over the past few seasons, this is a familiar clip. Still, there's something special about watching Burrow uncork a perfect pass down the field to a wide-open Chase.

This time, it was a 41-yard touchdown pass to cap off the Bengals' first drive against the Washington Commanders:

When these two are on their game and healthy, they're arguably the most dangerous duo in the business from a deep-ball standpoint.

The problem for Cincy as of late is that Burrow's health has been up and down, but a throw like that will go a long way toward easing any concerns regarding lingering problems from the wrist surgery he underwent last season.

In all, it was a tremendous opening drive for the Bengals. Burrow was 3-of-3 on the six-play, 71-yard drive that resulted in that beautiful touchdown.
