Watch:
After WR Tee Higgins scored Cincinnati’s second TD of the evening, Chase opted to taunt his opponents by using his hands and moving them in a way that showed that he is throwing money at those players.
The game is led by the home team, 14-10 at the end of the first half.
This is Chase’s first game since the last playing in Week 7 vs the Atlanta Falcons. He was out of the squad since then due to a hip injury.
The team has however won all four games that he has missed, defeating contender Tennessee Titans as well.
The Chiefs have been Chase’s favorite team to play against since being drafted fifth overall last season.

Chase recorded 266 receiving yards and three touchdowns in Week 17’s 34-31 division-clinching victory over the Kansas City Chiefs last season. He received his second award of the year as the AFC offensive player of the week. In addition to breaking the Bengals’ franchise record for receiving yards, Chase’s 266 yards also set a rookie record for the most receiving yards in a game in the NFL.
The WR then assisted his side in winning the 27-24 overtime victory over the same opponents in the AFC Championship Game, advancing them to Super Bowl LVI, their first Super Bowl appearance since Super Bowl XXIII in 1988. Chase hauled in six passes for 54 yards and a touchdown.
With 81 receptions for 1,455 yards (fourth in the NFL) and 13 receiving touchdowns, Chase finished his rookie regular season last year.
The 22-year-old has 47 receptions for 505 yards and six TDs in 7 games this season.
