Cincinnati Bengals All-Pro rookie wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has shattered numerous records throughout his dazzling rookie campaign. Sunday, in the big win against the Kansas City Chiefs, he set another. He pulled in 11 catches for 266 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The 266 receiving yards in a single game are the most by a rookie in league history.

Check it out below.

Chase made incredible plays all day today against Kansas City. For his second touchdown score of the day in the second quarter, Burrow hit him at the front right pylon.

He put the ball in the perfect position for his receiver.

Watch the Burrow-Chase connection make some more magic below.

Simply put, Chase has already put himself in rarified air. Nobody has been able to guard him for much of his rookie season and he continues to show he’s destined for greatness in the National Football League.

Cincinnati defeated the Kansas City Chiefs with a game-winning kick 34-31 in the closing seconds.

Bengals’ quarterback Joe Burrow had another incredible day, connecting on 30 of his 39 pass attempts for 446 passing yards, while tossing in four touchdowns and no interceptions.

Chase was electrifying today

One of his best touchdown catches came when he caught the football around the 40-yard line, juked a couple of Kansas City defenders, and turned on the afterburners for a 72-yard house call.

It was a footrace and there was no catching the former LSU great.

He’s one of the most complete wide receiver prospects to come along in a long, long time and the film backs that up. The tape he put on display his final year at LSU (2019-2020) is one of the greatest seasons by any receiver in college football history.

More records for the former LSU star

Chase’s electrifying game today against the Chiefs gave him 1,429 receiving yards for his rookie year–the most by a rookie in NFL history. He passed his former LSU teammate, Justin Jefferson, who pulled in 1,400 receiving yards for the Minnesota Vikings in 2020.
