Ja’Marr Chase 17-yard TD ties Bengals-Chargers 27-27 in fourth quarter

After being down 27-6 to the Chargers early in the third quarter, the Bengals tied things up early in the fourth on Sunday night football.

Quarterback Joe Burrow hit receiver Ja’Marr Chase for a 17-yard touchdown to make it 27-27.

Burrow was pressured on the second-and-10 play, but avoided it to find Chase in the end zone. The quarterback had also shown that ability earlier in the drive, finding running back Chase Brown for a 34-yard gain down the right sideline.

The Bengals had gotten the ball out of a critical fumble by Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Herbert scrambled on first-and-10 from the Cincinnati 31, but Logan Wilson got the ball loose as he brought the QB down. Safety Geno Stone recovered the loose ball to give Cincinnati the extra possession.

And the Bengals cashed in on that opportunity.

On the injury front, Bengals cornerback DJ Turner is out with a right collarbone injury.

Chargers cornerback Cam Hart has a concussion and is out. Denzel Perryman is doubtful to return with a groin injury.
