The Bengals offense is all right.
Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had a monster game against the Ravens in a massive early-season AFC North game.
Cincinnati (1-3) took a two-possession lead, 38-28, with 8:54 remaining in the fourth on a 70-yard touchdown from Chase.
Ja’Marr Chase passes Jerry Rice for the 5th-most receiving yards by a player through 50 career games.

The No. 5 overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft did most of the work on the one-play scoring drive. He caught quarterback Joe Burrow's pass at the Cincinnati 28-yard line, split a trio of Ravens defenders, linebackers Malik Harrison (No. 40) and Roquan Smith (No. 0) and cornerback Marlon Humphrey (No. 44), swerved past safety Marcus Williams and gained 72 yards after the catch.
The score gave Burrow a career-high five passing touchdowns. Chase also scored on a 41-yard reception late in the first half to give Cincinnati a 17-14 halftime advantage.
BURROW TO CHASE. 41-YARD TD.
