Bengals: Ja’Marr Chase and Evan McPherson led the way for rookies in Week 2

The Cincinnati Bengals lost a heartbreaker to the Chicago Bears 20-17. As we have some positive and negative takeaways, we look at how the Bengals’ rookies faired on Sunday.

Ja’Marr Chase and Evan McPherson were the headliners for the rookies and probably will be for most of the season, as their impact is more vital for this team this year.

Chase had a slow game until late in the fourth quarter, where he hauled in a 42-yard touchdown pass that cut a 20-3 Bears lead down to 20-10. He ended the game with only two receptions for 54 yards and one touchdown.
