Watch: Ja'Marr Chase burns Ravens defense for 67-yard touchdown

By Adam Gretz | Last updated Nov 7, 2024 10:20 PM ET

Ja'Marr Chase is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, but it has been a few weeks since he really had a big-time performance or made a huge play for the Cincinnati Bengals.

He changed that in a big way on their first offensive snap of the second half on Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens.

After catching a perfectly thrown Joe Burrow pass over the middle, Chase turned up field and raced through the Ravens defense on his way to a 67-yard touchdown to give the Bengals a 21-7 lead.

That catch-and-run put Chase over 100 yards for the game, his first 100-yard game in five weeks.

While it is a great play for Chase and the Bengals, it is another reminder for the Ravens that their pass defense is a big concern this season. They entered the game with one of the worst pass defenses (and worst defenses overall) in the league, and nothing happening on Thursday night was changing that.

That concern became even bigger on Thursday night when star safety Kyle Hamilton left the game with an ankle injury and was already ruled out.
