Although most people associate the Triple Crown with horse races and baseball, there is a football equivalent. When questioned about the potential of wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was surprised to hear that.
Since he is now leading in nearly every category, Burrow is certain that he will win the triple crown. “Can you explain that to me?” Among wide receivers, Chase ranks first in the league with 66 grabs, 981 receiving yards, and 10 touchdowns. He outpaces Justin Jefferson by 150 yards and George Kittle and Amon-Ra St. Brown by three touchdowns.
Chase, according to Burrow, has not been hovering over him regarding his financials. I don’t think so. “You know, when you’re dealing with a player like that, he might not tell you straight out, but he’ll definitely find a way to let you know,” he added. As a result, Burrow’s historic first-ever use of an F-bomb during a news conference became an internet sensation.
“There are numerous ways in which a receiver can express the request, ‘Hey, pass the ball to me.'” he stated. Chase has set career highs in yardage and touches through 10 games, and he leads the league in all three main receiving categories. With only 10 games played, last year’s total of 71 receptions is still much ahead of this year’s 66.

On November 8, 2024, the Cincinnati Bengals tweeted: “What a team!”
The Bengals’ heavy use of Chase’s versatility this season, which began during their 2022 playoff push, is a major contributor to the productivity surge.
A step forward in comprehending zone coverage, his role, and the various intricate elements of these routes has been made by him this year, according to Burrow. “As crazy as it sounds, I just think he’s getting better.”
In the era of the Super Bowl, only four players have managed to pull off the Triple Crown. In 2021, the most recent player to accomplish this feat was Cooper Kupp, who had 145 receptions for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns. It was Steve Smith in 2005, but he had 1,563 yards to go along with 103 receptions and 12 touchdowns, so he was tied for first.
Jerry Rice in 1990 (100, 1,502, 13) and Sterling Sharpe in 1992 (108, 1,461, 13). One Bengals player led the league in receptions, one in yards, and one in touchdowns in franchise history. In 2007, T.J. Houshmandzadeh had 112 receptions, identical to Wes Welker’s total. Of all NFL receivers in 2006, Chad Johnson has the most yards (1,369).
For 1995, Carl Pickens was tied with Cris Carter for most touchdowns with 17. No matter what happens with the Triple Crown, Chase is still on track to post career-best statistics. His expected stats for the season would be 1,678 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 112 receptions spread out over 17 games.
With those receptions and scores, Houshmandzadeh and Pickens would both own the franchise record. In addition, his personal franchise record of 1,455 yards, which he achieved in 2021 as a rookie, would be surpassed by the 1,678 yards. Offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher has stated that Ja’Marr is capable of going anywhere and doing anything asked of him. It is our responsibility to ensure that he maintains his status as a top player in terms of output once he reaches the level of performance that he has.Being at the head of the largest
