Coming off a two-touchdown performance, Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase said he is happy to put his offseason contract dispute behind him and play football, which is 'what matters most' to him.
Shannon Sharpe and Marcus Spears go back and forth on debating Joe Burrow's play to start the season with the Bengals. Ben Baby covers the Cincinnati Bengals for ESPN. He joined the company in July 2019. Prior to ESPN, he worked for various newspapers in Texas, most recently at The Dallas Morning News where he covered college sports. He provides daily coverage of the Bengals for ESPN.com, while making appearances on SportsCenter, ESPN's NFL shows and ESPN Radio programs.
A three-time Pro Bowler, Chase is coming off his best performance of the season in the 38-33 defeat at home to the Commanders, a loss that dropped the Bengals to 0-3. He caught six passes on seven targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns, his most productive outing since Week 13 of last season. But all it took was a big play and a big game to snap out of the funk. Cincinnati is hoping the same thing happens to the team. The Bengals are off to their worst start since 2019, when they lost their first 11 games of the year and finished with the league's worst record.
