Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase connected for their 14th and 15th touchdowns of the season, they're the only teammates to reach that mark in a season at both the College and NFL level. On the Season, Ja'Marr Chase has 93 catches for 1,319 yards, and 15 touchdowns receiving, all three stats lead the NFL putting Chase in the driver's seat to take home the Triple Crown.
This offseason, the Bengals played hardball with Ja'Marr Chase and didn't give him the contract that he had earned. Thus far, Ja'Marr Chase has went out and has only raised his value and, in the end, not getting the contract extension may end up in Chase getting more than he wanted.
The Bengals Playoff hopes remain alive for another week but, the Bengals will need to win out and they'll need some help along the way.
