Just when it looked like the Cincinnati Bengals might be showing signs of life against the Los Angeles Chargers, a pass from Joe Burrow to Ja'Marr Chase that looked promising turned into a disaster during the first quarter of Sunday's game at Paul Brown Stadium.
Trailing 9-0, Burrow picked up a big first down one play earlier with a 21-yard pass to Tee Higgins on 3rd-and-14. He hit Chase in stride on a long pass, but Chase bobbled it into the hands of Chargers cornerback Michael Davis.
Chase, who had Davis beat by a couple of steps when he started bobbling the ball, likely would have had a touchdown.
