Ja'Marr Chase gives NSFW description of how Steelers will attack Bengals next week

Cincinnati Bengals star receiver Ja’Marr Chase had an interesting turn of phrase to describe an upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. A not-safe-for-work (NSFW) one at that.

The Bengals dropped their fourth straight game on Sunday after getting out to a 2-0 start to the season. So morale was low.

But Ja’Marr Chase did his best to put on a positive face and attempt to find some motivation heading into the contest with the division-leading (and 4-1) Steelers. He was asked about the upcoming game.

“Well this next game’s always the most important game just because it’s divisional game also,” Chase said. “But just the rankings that we got going on, the standings where we at right now, we know the Steelers going to try to come in and raw-dog us and kill us, but we’re going to be ready for that challenge and we’re going to be waiting for it”

Pittsburgh, of course, is on a roll right now. After losing a Week 2 game to the Seattle Seahawks, the franchise has ripped off three straight wins. None were blowouts, necessarily, but the Steelers have found ways to win.

Can Cincinnati do the same, turning the division race into, well, a race once more? That remains to be seen.

“I mean we’re going to see how it goes,” Ja’Marr Chase said. “At the end of the day we’ve still got to capitalize on it for gametime, but other than that we’re going to try to get it as far as we can.”

The two teams split the meetings a year ago. Cincinnati won the more recent meeting, in early January, in Pittsburgh. That contest finished 19-17 in favor of the Bengals.

The first meeting came in Cincinnati, where Pittsburgh won a thrilling shootout. That game finished 44-38.

Can Ja’Marr Chase and his Cincinnati Bengals turn things around? Quarterback play has been a bit up and down, but the former LSU wideout has done his part — he has logged 42 catches for 468 yards and four touchdowns this season. He has scored three touchdowns in the last two weeks.
