Cincinnati Bengals vs. Houston Texans Live Score and Stats - September 20, 2026 Gametracker - CBS Sports

HOUSTON (AP) Ja'Marr Chase reminded everyone of just how good he can be on Sunday after the five-time Pro Bowler was a non-factor in Cincinnati's season-opening win.

Chase caught two touchdown passes from Joe Burrow to lead the Cincinnati Bengals to a 20-6 win over the Houston Texans.

The big day by Chase came a week after he had just two receptions for 12 yards in a victory over Tampa Bay. That prompted Burrow, coach Zac Taylor and offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher to say that getting him the ball more had to be a priority against the Texans.

They showed they meant that early as Chase eclipsed last week’s performance with 14 yards receiving on Cincinnati’s first drive and didn’t slow down after that.

Chase said he wasn't concerned about his limited touches in Week 1 since the team got a win.
