Ja'Marr Chase

Defenses can consider themselves to be in great danger whenever Ja’Marr Chase is lined up opposite, but there’s just something about the combination of primetime’s bright lights — and AFC North opponents — that brings out the best in “Uno.” Documented for 119.0 yards per game on Thursday Night Football, Cincinnati’s megastar shook off new quarterback concerns, Steelers defenders, and everything in between during a historic showing, headlined by a smoothly-executed fade route for an eight-yard touchdown. Peppered with 23 targets by game’s end (tied for the third-most in NFL single-game history), Chase rewarded his Bengals teammates’ trust through a 16-catch, 161-yard, one-touchdown masterpiece, and ultimately, a 33-31 win over Pittsburgh on Oct. 16, 2025.
