An old Ja’Marr Chase tweet comes back to haunt Bengals WR

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow hit the fastest speed of his career on his 47-yard touchdown run during Sunday night’s win over the New York Giants.

That sudden outburst from Burrow on the ground had Bengals fans digging up an infamous old tweet.

In that message from 2022, Chase seemed to scoff at the idea his quarterback is fast: “Joey B swear he fast y’all, like 20 MPH fast.”

But according to Next Gen Stats, Burrow did indeed essentially hit that mark: “Joe Burrow reached a top speed of 19.86 mph on his 47-yard touchdown run, the fastest play of Burrow’s career.”

Chase probably won’t complain about being proven wrong though — the fastest play of Burrow’s career was a critical one. It was the only major score for the Bengals on Sunday night long before Chase Brown iced the game with a touchdown run of his own in the final moments to secure the 17-7 win.
