Why Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase had quiet first half vs. Steelers in Week 11 image

Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is off to an uncharacteristically quiet start in the first half of the Week 11 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Because he's one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, we're used to seeing Chase produce early and often.

However, that has not been the case on Sunday against the Steelers. Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Why Ja'Marr Chase had quiet first half

Chase has just nine receiving yards and one reception on two targets.

It has been a bad game for the Bengals' offense all together, as Joe Flacco threw for just 82 yards over the first two quarters. Flacco is also playing through a shoulder injury, so that isn't helping matters.

Hopefully Chase gets going in the second half.
