The Cincinnati Bengals may find themselves out of playoff contention for the 2025 season, but wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase still has significant milestones within reach over the final two weeks. With his team eliminated, the focus shifts to individual achievements that could etch his name into both Bengals and NFL history.
Chase currently stands at 110 receptions this season and is on the verge of breaking his own record of 127 receptions in a single season, a benchmark he previously established. According to NFL insider Theo Gremminger, he only needs 18 more catches during the remaining games against the Arizona Cardinals and the Cleveland Browns to surpass that mark.
Achieving this feat would not only solidify his position within the Bengals’ record books but would also place him in the rankings of NFL history. If Chase manages to secure 120 receptions this season—just 10 more catches—he would join an exclusive club by becoming the first player since Michael Thomas of the New Orleans Saints to record back-to-back seasons with 120 receptions.
While these records may not be monumental in the historical sense, they do reflect the central role Chase plays within the Bengals’ offense. He is currently on an “all-time great path,” and achieving these milestones would bolster his reputation as the premier wide receiver in the league today and enhance discussions about his potential legacy in the game.
Chase’s pursuit of these records instills a sense of excitement amid a challenging season for the Bengals, reminding fans of the talent and potential within the team as they head into the new year.
