Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, at 24 years old, has set a new franchise record for receiving yards in a single season, surpassing his own previous record. Chase achieved this milestone during a game against the Cleveland Browns, where he recorded 1,463 receiving yards for the season. He entered the game leading the NFL with 1,413 receiving yards. In addition to breaking the yardage record, Chase has also positioned himself to potentially join an elite group of NFL players, including Hall of Famers Randy Moss and Jerry Rice, with at least 100 receptions, 1,500 receiving yards, and 15 touchdown receptions in his first 15 games of a season. Over his last five games, Chase has amassed 47 receptions for 696 yards and 8 touchdowns, the highest receiving yard total in any five-game span this season. Furthermore, Chase has now scored his league-leading 16th touchdown of the season, placing him among an exclusive group with Randy Moss and Cooper Kupp as the only players in NFL history to achieve 100+ catches, 1,500+ yards, and 16+ touchdowns in a single season. This performance marks a Bengals franchise first, with Chase on his way to the triple crown.
