Ja’Marr Hits 1K
Ja’Marr Chase surpassed 1,000 receiving yards on the season early in the first quarter, when he took his first catch of the night for a 32-yard gain to help set up a McPherson field goal.
Chase became the sixth player in NFL history to reach 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first four career seasons, joining Randy Moss, A.J. Green, Mike Evans, Michael Thomas and Justin Jefferson. He also stands alongside Thomas as the only players in league history to record 70+ receptions and 1,000+ yards in each of his first four years.
Chase finished Sunday’s game with seven catches for 75 yards and two touchdowns, boosting his season totals to 73 receptions for 1,056 yards and 12 TDs — each of those figures lead the league.

Burrow connected with Chase on fourth-and-goal midway through the third quarter for Cincinnati’s first touchdown of the night. It marked Chase’s 11th touchdown of the season and the 40th of his career.
Playing in his 56th career regular-season game, Chase became the fifth-fastest player in NFL history to reach 40 receiving touchdowns. The only players to hit that mark in fewer games are Jerry Rice (44 games), Randy Moss (44), Rob Gronkowski (47) and Odell Beckham Jr. (54).
Chase’s two touchdowns put his career total at 41, which ties former receiver Eddie Brown for the fifth-most in Bengals history. Sunday night also marked Chase’s 10th career game with multiple touchdowns, tied with Isaac Curtis for the third-most in team history. Only Chad Johnson and Carl Pickens (13 each) had more.
