A Bengals Star Makes history: Ja’Marr Chase Dominates the NFL
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase etched his name in NFL history books by achieving a feat no other player has accomplished while wearing the Bengals stripes: winning the coveted Triple Crown during the regular season.
Chase’s dominance was undeniable, racking up an extraordinary 127 receptions, 1,708 receiving yards, and 17 touchdowns in just 17 games. these staggering numbers placed him at the top of the league in all three categories, solidifying his position as a premier offensive weapon.
To put Chase’s achievement into outlook, consider that the second-highest reception count belonged to Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions with 115 catches. Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings trailed Chase in receiving yards with 1,533, while Terry McLaurin of the Washington Commanders recorded 13 touchdowns, falling short of Chase’s remarkable 17.
The last player to achieve the triple Crown was Cooper Kupp of the Los Angeles Rams, who accomplished the feat three years prior. As the NFL began tracking these statistics in 1932, the Triple Crown has been awarded 17 times to 13 different players. Legendary receiver Don Hutson holds the record with five Triple Crown titles, a testament to his enduring legacy.
