Jamar Chase made sure the NFL's first game in Madrid had plenty of highlight material. The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver was at the center of the team's most explosive plays, including a 47-yard touchdown pass from Joe Burrow that answered the Atlanta Falcons' opening-drive score.
Big plays from start to finish
That touchdown was only the beginning of Chase's night. Later in the game, he made a one-handed reception through contact for a 13-yard gain, then added an acrobatic sideline catch for a 14-yard gain. He also made a sliding 11-yard reception and, later on, outran nearly the entire Atlanta Falcons defense for a 31-yard gain.
For the Bengals, the sequence showed exactly why Chase remains one of the most dangerous playmakers in the NFL. Even in a game framed by its international stage, he found ways to create separation, finish through contact and turn short chances into bigger gains.
The 47-yard connection with Burrow stood out as the biggest scoring play in the early back-and-forth. But the rest of Chase's catches were just as notable for the variety they showed: strength at the catch point, body control near the sideline, toughness while going to the ground and the speed to break a defense open after the catch.
In a game that was already a milestone for the league, Chase's performance gave the Bengals their own share of memorable moments in Madrid.
