Ja'Marr Chase and the Cincinnati Bengals probably still won't have things worked out contract-wise by the time they face the Kansas City Chiefs tomorrow, but that doesn't mean he won't be ready to torch them once again.
The star receiver has never shied away from talking his talk both ahead of and during games against the Super Bowl champions. And so far, he has been able to back that talk up.
Most recently, Chase told the media that the Bengals, not the Chiefs, are the team to beat in the AFC. Now he's got to go out and do it again.
And don't be surprised if he does.
Chase has literally had the most success of any wide receiver against the Chiefs in the franchise's history with 106.6 receiving yards per game, beating Andre Johnson (102.8) and Marvin Harrison (96.3).
Will he be able to continue to find such success tomorrow?
