Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase broke a franchise record held by Carl Pickens during Sunday’s win over the Arizona Cardinals.
Chase’s 15 catches shattered the 13-catch record set by Pickens and was good for 192 yards and three scores in the 34-20 win.
But that’s hardly all.
According to the NFL, Chase is the first player in NFL history to have multiple games with 10-plus catches, 150-plus yards and three-plus touchdowns over his first three seasons.
And per the NFL, Chase is the fourth wideout in league history under the age of 24 to record 15 catches in a game. He also has seven career touchdowns of 50-plus yards, tying him for the third-most touchdowns by a player under the age of 24.
He also reached 200 career catches in his 34th game (212 after Sunday now), tying a handful of others for the fourth-fewest games to 200 catches in NFL history.
An all-around stunning day for Chase, whose patience while Joe Burrow battled through a calf injury over the first month of the season just got majorly rewarded — and there’s a whole lot of season left.
