Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase Shades Chiefs' Secondary: 'They Can't Do it 1-on-1'

Another matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals means another round of trash-talking and bulletin board material.

Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase told reporters on Thursday that the Chiefs' secondary lacks the top-end talent to defend him one-on-one.

"I know what I see on paper and I know what I see in the game," he said ahead of Sunday's game. "That's why they double everybody. Because they can't do it one-on-one. … It's not like they've got a superstar on their defense."
