The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Minnesota Vikings in overtime and rookie wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase played a major role in the win.

Entering the season, Chase was facing scrutiny over some taken out-of-context quotes concerning the differences between NFL balls and college footballs, which didn’t help his case after a rocky preseason where he dropped five balls. He shut anyone up who doubted him though, going for over 100 yards and a touchdown in his first true glimpse of NFL action.
