In his 49th career regular-season game, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase delivered another electrifying performance in the team’s 34-24 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Chase recorded 85 receiving yards, highlighted by a 63-yard touchdown catch that showcased his signature big-play ability.
With this performance, Chase reached an impressive milestone of 4,017 receiving yards and 32 touchdown receptions in his four-year career. This achievement places him among an elite group of players in the Super Bowl era to have at least 4,000 receiving yards and 30 touchdown receptions in their first 50 career games. He joins the ranks of Pro Football Hall of Famers Randy Moss and Jerry Rice, as well as Odell Beckham Jr. and A.J. Green.
At just 24 years and 212 days old, Chase became the fourth player under the age of 25 to record 10 touchdown receptions of 50 or more yards. This remarkable feat puts him alongside Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss, who holds the record with 14 such touchdowns, as well as Harlon Hill (12) and Odell Beckham Jr. (10).
Chase has also proven himself as one of the most dangerous deep threats in NFL history. His nine touchdown receptions of 60 or more yards tie him with Pro Football Hall of Famer Lance Alworth, Odell Beckham Jr., and Victor Cruz for the third-most such touchdowns by a player in their first four seasons. Only Homer Jones (12) and Harlon Hill (10) have more.
As Ja’Marr Chase continues to break records and add to his legacy, his ability to deliver game-changing plays cements his place among the NFL’s most elite wide receivers.
