Cincinnati Bengals star Ja'Marr Chase is holding his team to a high standard ahead of a Week 2 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
"We're the team to beat in the AFC," Chase said on Thursday, according to Pro Football Network's Jay Morrison. "We need to act like it, and we need to play like it."
While the Bengals won the AFC and made a trip to the Super Bowl in 2021-22, it's hard to argue that they're still the top team in the conference. The Chiefs have won the AFC Championship Game in four of the past five seasons to go along with three Super Bowl titles.
