Bengals plan to involve Ja'Marr Chase more after limited season opener

The Cincinnati Bengals aim to increase Ja'Marr Chase's involvement in their offense following a season-opening victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 13. Chase had just two catches for 12 yards in that game, leading coaches to express dissatisfaction with his limited usage. Offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher emphasized the need for more targets for Chase, calling him 'the best receiver in the world.' Head coach Zac Taylor acknowledged that there are no excuses for not utilizing Chase more effectively. Historically, Chase has rebounded strongly from previous low-output games, indicating potential for future contributions.
