Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase scores 82-yard touchdown, sets NFL rookie record through 7 games

Another impressive effort Sunday in Baltimore from Cincinnati Bengals rookie receiver Ja'Marr Chase gave him enough receiving yardage this season to pass former Arizona Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin for the most receiving yards by an NFL rookie in his first seven career games.

Boldin had 621 receiving yards through his first seven games. Chase's 82-yard touchdown catch to give the Bengals a 27-17 lead in the third quarter gave him 174 in the game.

He finished the day with 201 receiving yards on eight catches, increasing his total to 754 through seven games.

It was Chase's sixth touchdown catch of the season, and quarterback Joe Burrow's 17th TD pass of 2021.
