The Cincinnati Bengals waited until the fourth quarter to score their first touchdown of Sunday's overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but it brought them within seven points with 9:20 remaining.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow scrambled on a 4th-and-5 at the Niners' 17-yard line, and he found rookie receiver Ja'Marr Chase in the back of the end zone.
It was Burrow's 24th touchdown pass of the season, and Chase's ninth touchdown catch. Chase added his 10th TD catch later in the fourth quarter.
Social media reactions:
A short time later, Chase became the first NFL rookie in 2021 and third in Bengals' history with 1,000 receiving yards in a season. He finished the game with five catches for 77 yards with the two touchdowns, increasing his season total to 1,035 yards.
