In the Bengals' season opener against the Patriots, Ja'Marr Chase recorded six receptions for 62 yards. Despite his strong performance, the Bengals fell short with a 16-10 loss. Chase's involvement was crucial, especially in the absence of Tee Higgins due to a hamstring injury. His performance comes after a summer filled with uncertainty regarding his contract extension and health issues, but he managed to lead the team in receptions and receiving yards.

• Chase led the Bengals in receptions and receiving yards despite health concerns.
• The Bengals offense struggled overall, needing improvement ahead of a tough matchup against the Chiefs.
