Ja'Marr Chase sets single-team single-season yardage record

play

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase probably wishes he could play against the Baltimore Ravens every week because in the two games this season, Chase has been unstoppable despite losses.

During Thursday night's 35-34 loss to Baltimore, Chase caught 11 passes for 264 yards with three touchdowns. He also had 193 receiving 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. This is an NFL record for most receiving yards against a team in a single season.

Chase, who led 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 this season.

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

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