Tom Brady gives props to ‘possible catch of the year’ already made in Week 2 of NFL season
Tom Brady was stunned by one of Ja’Marr Chase’s two touchdown catches in the Cincinnati Bengals’ 20-6 victory over the Houston Texans. Chase’s incredible play was the highlight of the Bengals’ impressive start to the 2026 season.
In the 20-6 victory over the Houston Texans, Ja’Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals showcased an impressive Catch of the Year potential with his second touchdown catch in Week 2. Known for their elite offense, the Bengals rely heavily on Chase and Tee Higgins, who form arguably the NFL's best receiving duo. However, Chase struggled in the season opener but rebounded with an unforgettable performance in Week 2.
Tom Brady, observing the game, was thoroughly impressed by Chase's catch, which involved turning his body 180 degrees while falling out of the end zone and maintaining proper footwork to stay in bounds. Brady even remarked, "Possibly the catch of the year with the two-tap on the sideline." Beyond praising the Bengals' offense, Brady ranked them fifth among NFL teams following their victories over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans, crediting their impressive start to Joe Burrow's performance as a quarterback.
