Joe Burrow to Ja'Marr Chase 63-yard TD extends Cincinnati Bengals' lead in Arizona
A 63-yard touchdown pass from Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow to receiver Ja'Marr Chase during the third quarter of Sunday's NFL Week 5 game against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium was a sight for sore eyes for Bengals fans, and reason for them to celebrate.
The score gave the Bengals a 24-14 lead after Evan McPherson's extra point.
NFL Next Gen Stats reported that the TD throw from Burrow traveled 58.1 yards in the air, Burrow's longest completion by air distance of his four NFL seasons.
It was Burrow's second TD pass of the game, and Chase's second TD catch.
It was Chase's ninth catch of the game, for 142 yards. Later, Chase's 14th catch of the game broke the Bengals' single-game record.
Social media reactions to the biggest play of the season so far from the Bengals' offense:

There might be two or three receivers in the league who can do everything that Ja'Marr Chase has done today. Maybe there aren't any.
He looks like one of the best players in football today.— Charlie Goldsmith (@CharlieG__) October 8, 2023
