Ja'Marr Chase's stats vs Browns
A summary of Ja'Marr Chase's stats for the Bengals against the Browns in Week 16 of the 2024 NFL season is given below.
- Carries: 1
- Rushing yards: 7
- Rushing touchdowns: 0
- Targets: 8
- Receptions: 6
- Receiving yards: 97
- Receiving touchdowns 1
The wide receiver was once again the start of the show. With a late touchdown in the fourth quarter, he extended all his leads in all categories and put even more distance between himself and all other competitors in the three categories.
With his Week 16 numbers, he crossed important marks. His 97 yards against the Browns now have him with 1,510 in total; he also has 108 receptions in total and 16 touchdowns. He even added seven yards in a rushing play during the game against Cleveland.
This was always going to be a winnable game for the Cincinnati Bengals, who remain alive in the playoff hunt with two weeks to go. They're now sitting with a 7-8 record and need to win out while the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers need to lose all their games.
The good news? The next game for them will be at home against the Broncos. A win would put a huge amount of pressure on Sean Payton's team to finish the job in Week 18, although they'll play against the Kansas City Chiefs who might rest their starters if they lock the #1 in the AFC.
But remaining alive is the most important thing, and with Chase on the roster, they always have a player they can count upon.
