Ja'Marr Chase continues to make history as he caught his 17th touchdown of the season, tying the Cincinnati Bengals' franchise record set by Carl Pickens. In the Bengals' game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Chase and quarterback Joe Burrow connected on a 12-yard touchdown pass during the opening drive, leading to a 7-0 lead. Burrow was perfect on the drive, going 6-for-6 for 64 yards. Chase's 46 career regular-season touchdown receptions place him behind only Randy Moss (53) and Jerry Rice (49) for the most receiving touchdowns in a player's first four seasons. With 5,401 receiving yards over his four-year career, he is closing in on the third-most receiving yards in NFL history for a player in his first four seasons, needing just 68 yards to surpass Randy Moss. Chase currently leads the NFL in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdown catches, positioning him for a rare receiving triple crown accomplishment. His performance against the Steelers, including a spectacular sideline catch, showcases his exceptional talent and continues to solidify his status among the league's elite receivers.
