Ja’Marr Chase just broke a long-standing Cincinnati Bengals record during the team’s Week 5 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.
Late in the fourth quarter, Chase caught a 14-yard pass on 2nd and 13 that was a franchise record-tying 13th catch for the game. The original record was set by Carl Pickens in 1998 vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Later in the drive, Chase hauled in a three-yard touchdown to put him all alone at the top with a record 14 grabs for the game to go with three scores. He entered Week 5 having not reached the end zone once in the Bengals’ first four games while the offense was an abject disaster.
