The full read
Ja'Marr Chase had his biggest game of the season against the Falcons: 12 targets, 10 catches, 155 yards, a touchdown and +12.8 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position, in a 34-17 win. The 155 yards topped the 141 he had a week earlier against Tennessee.
The touchdown answered Atlanta's opening score. Down 7-0 with 8:55 left in the first quarter, third and 2 at the Atlanta 47, Joe Burrow threw deep right and Chase caught it for a 47-yard touchdown: +4.9 EPA and 13.3 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win, the largest swing of the game.
He carried the drive that broke it open. Up 14-10 in the second quarter, from the Cincinnati 12, he caught a 31-yarder on first down, converted third and 1 with an 11-yard catch that Atlanta challenged and lost, converted third and 9 with a 14-yarder, and caught a 12-yarder to the 4 before Tee Higgins scored. On the drive before it, his 13-yard catch on second and 10 reached the 1, and Burrow scored two plays later. He converted four third downs in all.
Per target it was more than twice his season rate. Through Week 8, in seven games, he had 43 catches on 61 targets for 492 yards, 6 touchdowns and +28.2 EPA, +0.46 a target; here it was +1.07.
