Ja'Marr Chase

Following up a one-of-a-kind, “Triple Crown” season with something just remarkable didn’t leave Ja’Marr Chase with much margin for error, but as history books and highlight reels attest, Cincinnati’s megastar was certainly up for the task. Week 18’s season finale offered opportunities to build on an already-historic campaign, and Chase took full advantage, going full “Statue of Liberty” on a viral, one-handed snag that moved the sticks. The Bengals’ star wasn’t done, demonstrating his clutch gene on a go-ahead, through-traffic touchdown during Jan. 4, 2026’s final minute. Eyeing history of their own, the Cleveland Browns prevailed in a 20-18 finish, but “Uno” was inevitable nonetheless, closing his 125-catch, 1,412-yard, eight-touchdown season with eight snags, 96 yards, and a score.
