With 11 catches for 264 yards and three touchdowns, Ja’Marr Chase put up a single-game stat line Thursday replicated only one other time in Cincinnati Bengals history — by Chase himself, in 2022.

In the Bengals’ 35-34 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, Chase became the first player in NFL history to record multiple games of 250-plus receiving yards and two-plus touchdowns in a career. Chase first put up a similarly monstrous stat line on Jan. 2, 2022, when he pulled in a franchise-record 266 yards on 11 receptions with three touchdowns.

While Chase fell just short of matching his own franchise record, it wasn’t for a lack of opportunities. He simply ran out of time.

The last of Chase’s yards came on a 5-yard touchdown in the final minute to pull the Bengals within one point. Cincinnati’s two-point conversion attempt fell incomplete, keeping Chase from adding to his stat line in overtime.

All three of Chase’s touchdowns came in the second half, the first on a weaving 67-yard catch-and-run through the entire Ravens secondary. The second was a 70-yard rainbow connection with Joe Burrow midway through the fourth quarter.

Chase now owns the Bengals franchise record for 60-plus-yard touchdown receptions with 12, topping the previous record of 10 held by Isaac Curtis.

After Thursday, Chase has now put up two of the 23 260-yard performances in NFL history. Of those 23 games, only seven of those performances added three-plus touchdowns, and Chase owns two of those.

Chase is still playing on his rookie contract after he failed to come to a long-term agreement with the Bengals before the season. During Thursday’s game, his agent Caitlin Aoki posted on X, “He keeps making my job easier.”
