In the closing minutes of the first half, the Cincinnati Bengals found themselves down 16-7 after giving up 16-straight points to the Green Bay Packers.
With 0:51 remaining until halftime, the Bengals got the ball with one more shot on offense. That is where former LSU Tigers quarterback Joe Burrow went to work. He needed one play.
Burrow found his college teammate Ja’Marr Chase once again to close the gap with the Packers to just two points. The second-down throw went for 70 yards as the 2019 Heisman Trophy winner set a career-long with the scoring throw and catch to Chase. Don’t blink when these two are on the field together.

Not only did Burrow set a career-long mark for the touchdown throw, but Chase hit another milestone. He became the fifth receiver to record 50-plus yards receiving in each of his first five career games.
