Ja’Marr Chase caught 5-of-8 targets for 23 yards in the Bengals’ Week 4 loss to the Broncos.

30 September 2025

This was tough to watch. The Bengals’ fill-in starter, QB Jake Browning, was willingly targeting Chase in tight coverage early on. On the ninth play from scrimmage, Browning unbelievably failed to notice Chase streaking downfield on a post route with no safety in sight, instead choosing to throw short to WR Mitchell Tinsley. Later in the game, Chase could be seen exasperatedly pleading his case to head coach Zac Taylor, who evidently had no answers. Chase is a borderline WR1/2 against the Lions next week.
