In Sunday's NFL game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Jacksonville Jaguars, star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase suffered a concussion after being pulled by his facemask and taking a significant hit from linebacker Ventrell Miller in the second quarter. The incident left Chase out of the remainder of the game, which the Bengals lost with only three points in the first half. Prior to this injury, Chase had been performing well over the last two weeks with 16 catches for 173 yards and three touchdowns.

Story summary
On Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in an NFL matchup by a score of 22-17. Joe Burrow passed for 428 yards, but the loss was compounded when All-Pro wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase suffered a concussion early in the second quarter and did not return to play. The incident occurred after Chase caught a pass, with cornerback Jarrian Jones grabbing his facemask and linebacker Ventrell Miller delivering a hard tackle, leading to a significant blow to Chase's head on the turf. With this setback, the Bengals struggled to maintain their offensive momentum despite Burrow’s efforts. This game marked Trevor Lawrence's first win over the Bengals in four attempts, further solidifying his record against Joe Burrow and extending Cincinnati's losing streak after starting the season with two wins.
