Ja’Marr Chase sets season mark for receiving yards against one team

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

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 history of their own as they had an opportunity to tie an NFL record for consecutive regular games with 100 or more team rushing yards. Baltimore had accomplished the feat 42 consecutive times, one game short of the record set by the Ravens (2018-2021) and Pittsburgh Steelers (1974-77).

When the Ravens recovered the Bengals’ onside kick after failing on the two-point conversion that would have given them the lead, Baltimore was sitting on 100 yards rushing for the game. Lamar Jackson took a final snap and kneeled down, resulting in a 1-yard loss, knocking the team total to 99.
