As he's done so often for the Cincinnati Bengals this year, Ja'Marr Chase's playmaking abilities helped seal a victory. Chase notched his fourth touchdown of the season Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, hauling in a perfect pass from Joe Burrow in the end zone.
The play was beautiful, and what happened afterwards was eye-opening in the best way.
Chase opted to celebrate with the most casual backflip you'll ever see in full pads and a helmet. He rotated so cleanly and quickly it almost looked like he went too far, but he landed gracefully on his feet to continue celebrating with his teammates.
What a flip indeed, Jim Nantz. The smoothness of its execution makes it obvious it's not the first time Chase has flipped backwards, but you might be surprised at how long it's been since he last tried it.
According to Chase, it was his first flip in over three years! And the first time he's done so while wearing pads. Apparently it's like riding a bike.
The gymnastics training during his childhood actually explains a lot about Chase's overall athleticism. His balance and coordination is top notch compared to other top receivers in the NFL. Who needs practice when you're this good?
One can only guess how Chase is going to wow us next.
