While the Cincinnati Bengals dropped a close match against the Baltimore Ravens, football fans cannot disregard Ja’Marr Chase’s fantastic game. He helped the Bengals stay within the game by collecting 11 receptions for 264 yards and three touchdowns.
His first touchdown was a 67-yard completion that extended Cincinnati’s lead to 21-7. When the Ravens took the lead, Chase’s 70-yard catch helped tie the game at 28. His third touchdown trimmed Baltimore’s lead to one, but they failed to convert a two-point attempt.
That performance made Chase the first NFL player to have multiple games with at least 250 yards and two touchdowns. Those numbers also give him 66 receptions, 981 yards, and ten touchdowns. Those numbers lead the league, putting him on track to win the wide receiver’s triple crown.

Chase has six receptions more than Garrett Wilson, 198 receiving yards more than Justin Jefferson, and four touchdowns more than Mike Evans, George Kittle, Terry McLaurin, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Drake London.
If he retains those leads, Chase will only be the fifth player in NFL history to win the triple crown. However, clinching a playoff berth will be an uphill battle after falling to 4-6. The team will continue its season against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, November 17.
