Ja’Marr Chase made another incredible catch on Sunday against the Steelers, but it wasn’t just any regular stellar grab for the Bengals receiver.
In the third quarter, Cincinnati quarterback Jake Browning threw a pass to Chase, but the receiver happened to have his mouthguard still in his hand while he was running. This didn’t end up being a problem for Chase, though.
Chase ran down the field with Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. guarding him, all while the green mouthguard was in his left hand. Chase still caught the ball with two hands and completed the 25-yard play to give the Bengals a huge first down.

This drive ended in an interception on a pass intended for Chase a few plays later. The Steelers scored a touchdown on the next drive.
