Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase is heading back into Pittsburgh for the first time since he spit on Jalen Ramsey.
He also has a big career milestone approaching with 7,000 yards under 80 yards away.
Chase can become the fourth fastest receiver to reach 7000 yards in NFL history. Doing so in 81 games would put him ahead of both Jerry Rice and Randy Moss, each of whom reached 7K in 83 games.
That’s stat was pointed out by John Sheeran of A to Z Sports. And it is pretty incredible. We have been spoiled to watch some of the most talented wide receivers of their eras. Now we may be watching the best one to put on stripes, ever.

But that milestone comes with needing to stay on the field despite any extra curricular activities the Pittsburgh Steelers may throw his way.
Ja’Marr Chase plans to appeal NFL celebration fine, calls for NFLPA to fight for players’ money

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. moves on from contract talks, offers no firm timeline for return
From the sounds of it, Porter isn’t even really in football shape. Despite his claims of there not being any drama, it certainly seems like that might be coming into play with how he is approaching this injury. Of course if the Steelers weren’t such a cheap franchise and just paid their players then they wouldn’t need to worry about this.

The Bengals play the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid later this year. Running back Bijan Robinson certainly has to be the focal point of stopping this team. The Green Bay Packers defense seems to be atrocious, but if Michael Penix Jr. does start playing well, then that offense becomes all the harder to stop.
