The Cincinnati Bengals fell to the Baltimore Ravens in a dramatic shootout Thursday night to begin Week 10. It wasn’t for a lack of effort on the part of Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase, who took their already fearsome pairing to new heights. against a Ravens secondary that Kyle Hamilton lost star safety to injury. Burrow finished with 428 passing yards and four touchdowns, while Chase made NFL history with 264 receiving yards and three touchdowns, two of which came on plays of more than 60 yards.
Chase’s 264 yards on 11 receptions give him a combined total of 457 receiving yards against the Ravens this season; He previously had 10 catches for 193 yards in Cincinnati’s Week 5 overtime loss to Baltimore. That total is the most by any player against a team in NFL history, eclipsing the previous record of 428 yards, set by Art Powell of the Oakland Raiders against the Houston Oilers in 1963.
The Pro Bowl wide receiver also nearly set a new career-high in receiving yards; He had 266 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022, which ranks 16th all-time among single-game marks. Chase is now the only player in NFL history to record two games with at least 260 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Chase entered Thursday’s game second in receiving yards in the 2024 season (717), but now leads the NFL with 981 in 10 games, on pace to break his career-high of 1,455, which he set as Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2021. He also leads the league with 10 receiving touchdowns.
Additionally, the star receiver now owns more 60-yard touchdowns than any NFL player under the age of 25 in league history, recording his 11th and 12th such scores against Baltimore.
