Ja'Marr Chase delivered a highlight-reel touchdown catch for the Cincinnati Bengals in their Week 2 victory against the Houston Texans, even leaving head coach Zac Taylor in awe.

Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor praised the highlight play, saying, "I watched it a lot. Impressive." Chase was not content with just one touchdown, as he added another in the third quarter with an 18-yard reception from quarterback Joe Burrow, extending the Bengals' lead to 17-3.
Chase was clearly pleased with his performance against the Texans, stating after the game, "Probably one of them, yes. Until I've seen a video, yeah, I can say that now." The Bengals aim for a 3-0 start to the season with a Week 3 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.
