The Cincinnati Bengals faced the Washington Football Team in their second preseason game on Friday night and one of the biggest storylines was the lackluster performance from first-round rookie Ja’Marr Chase.
The Bengals spent the fifth overall pick on Chase despite him not playing in the 2020 season and so far, he’s looked exactly like a guy who took a year off from football. The rust still needs to be shaken off.
In Friday’s game at Washington, Chase was targeted three times by Brandon Allen (who started over Joe Burrow) and failed to haul in a single catch.
