CINCINNATI — It didn't take long for Ja'Marr Chase to capture his final goal for the 2025 season: Finding the end zone.

Joe Burrow hit Chase a few times on the Bengals' opening drive against Arizona on Sunday, including a 13-yard score that Chase broke multiple tackles on.

It was his first touchdown since the Week 7 win against Pittsburgh and his sixth of the 2025 season. Check out the big play below and a drive log of the 12-play sequence from ESPN:
