Ja’Marr Chase sets single-season record for receiving yards against one team

play

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase probably wishes he could play against the Baltimore Ravens every week because Chase couldn’t be stopped in the two games this season despite the losses.

During Thursday night’s 35-34 loss to Baltimore, Chase caught 11 passes for 264 yards with three touchdowns. He also had 193 yards during an overtime loss to the Ravens in Week 5, giving him a total of 457 receiving yards in the two games against Baltimore. That’s an NFL record for most receiving yards against one team in a single season.

Chase, who leads the NFL with 66 catches for 981 yards and 10 touchdowns, broke the record set by Oakland Raiders receiver Art Powell in 1963. Powell had 428 receiving yards in two games against the Houston Oilers that season.

The Ravens missed out on their own history as they had a chance to tie an NFL record for consecutive regular-season games with 100 or more team rushing yards. Baltimore had accomplished the feat 42 straight times, one game shy of the record held by the Ravens (2018-2021) and Pittsburgh Steelers (1974-77).

When the Ravens regained the onside kick from the Bengals after failing on the two-point conversion that would have given them the lead, Baltimore was sitting at 100 yards rushing into the game. Lamar Jackson made a final slam and knelt down, resulting in a loss of 1 yard, bringing the team total to 99.
