It was a high-scoring first half in the Pro Bowl, which saw the AFC and NFC combine for 83 points in the flag football game.
[autotag]Ja’Marr Chase[/autotag] had one of the AFC’s best highlights as the Cincinnati Bengals receiver and former LSU star caught a deep touchdown pass from Texans star rookie quarterback CJ Stroud, who had to evade a rusher and roll to his left before delivering an impressive throw to Chase off his back foot.
It was an impressive catch on an even better throw as Chase is participating in his second-straight Pro Bowl. He was also selected in 2021 but didn’t participate as the Bengals were playing in the Super Bowl.

Despite former LSU Heisman winner [autotag]Joe Burrow[/autotag] going down with an injury early in the year, Chase reached the 1,000-yard threshold for the third straight season to begin his career.
He finished with 1,216 yards and seven touchdowns on a career-high 100 catches. He played in 16 games as the Bengals failed to qualify for the playoffs.
