Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has continued to impress early in his career and is on pace this season to break some single-season receiving records for the Bengals.
Former Cincinnati wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh holds the record for most catches in a season with 112, and with 86 catches and five games to go, Chase is on pace for 122 catches if he continues the way he has been playing this year. Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com talked to Houshmandzadeh about it, and he wants Chase to break his record.
“Tell him to break that (bleep). That’s why it’s there,” he told Hobson. “If he doesn’t do it this year, he’s going to do it soon.”
Chase is also on pace to break the single-season receiving yards record, which he currently holds after a 1,455 yards in 2021. He is on pace for 1,505 yards this season.
When Chase was a freshman at LSU, Houshmandzadeh talked to him about never getting outworked, and that has obviously stuck with him since he has gotten to the point where he is one of the top receivers in the NFL.
