The Cincinnati Bengals did whatever they wanted in the first half in Madrid. Cincinnati entered halftime up 24-10 over Atlanta after a special start from their offense. It should be no surprise that Ja'Marr Chase was a big part of the Bengals' hot start.
Chase joined legendary wide receiver Randy Moss as the only receivers in NFL history with seven or more touchdowns in each of their first six seasons in the league, per Ari Meirov.
Ja'Marr had some truly explosive production during the first half. He hauled in eight receptions for 142 receiving yards and a touchdown. That is the most by any Bengals player in the first half since 1988, per ESPN Insights.
Chase showed a little bit of everything in the first half. On top of his great stats, he logged 55 yards after the catch and two broken tackles. The actual catches themselves were quite impressive, with one toe-tapping catch and another wild one-handed grab.
