Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has been named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in Cincinnati’s Week 7 win over the Baltimore Ravens, the NFL announced Wednesday.
In the 41-17 win over the Ravens, Chase caught eight passes for a Bengals rookie-record 201 receiving yards and a touchdown on Sunday. His receiving yardage total was the highest in the AFC so far this season, and his 82-yard score in the third quarter was the longest pass play of the year in the AFC.
Chase’s 754 receiving yards currently lead the AFC and rank as the most ever by an NFL player through his first seven games.
