Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins poised for historic achievements in unique ways
When the Cincinnati Bengals face the Chicago Bears, two standout receivers have the opportunity to achieve remarkable milestones. Both Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are on the brink of making history with their performances.
Ja’Marr Chase’s Record-Breaking Potential
Ja’Marr Chase has his sights set on a significant achievement. If he records another game with 10 or more catches, he will join an elite group. This feat would make him only the second player in NFL history to have 10 or more receptions in four consecutive games. The only player to reach this milestone previously was Calvin Johnson in 2012.
Tee Higgins Aiming for a Unique Streak
Tee Higgins also has a chance to etch his name in the record books. He could become the third player in NFL history to catch a touchdown in nine consecutive home games. This record has only been achieved by two players: Cris Carter in 2000-01 and Jerry Rice in 1989-90.
Factors Influencing Their Success
The success of both Chase and Higgins may depend heavily on their starting quarterback’s condition. Joe Flacco is currently questionable for this game due to a shoulder injury sustained in Week 8 against the Jets.
Chase’s Season Stats
- Receptions: 70 (leads the NFL)
- Receptions Ahead: 14 more than the second-place player, Christian McCaffrey
- Receiving Yards: 720 (second in the NFL)
As the Bengals prepare for their match against the Bears, all eyes will be on Chase and Higgins. Both players have the potential to achieve remarkable records that could enhance their careers and excite fans.
