The Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals, known for their intense non-divisional matchups, are gearing up for Week 17, and Ja’Marr Chase has added an extra layer of excitement with bold statements. When asked about the Chiefs’ secondary, the Bengals’ wide receiver offered a straightforward assessment, claiming, “If I’m being honest, nothing.” Unconcerned about the potential impact of his words, Chase stated, “They could take it how they want to take it. I don’t care.”
Chase didn’t hold back in his evaluation of Chiefs safety Bryan Cook, a former Cincinnati college player, dismissing him as just “a guy” and making it clear that he doesn’t hold Cook in the same regard as standout Jessie Bates. Despite acknowledging Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed as “the best player on their team,” Chase attributed this distinction to what he perceives as a skill gap with other defensive backs, asserting, “That’s why they double everybody because they can’t do it one-on-one.”
Further emphasizing his confidence in his own abilities, Chase asserted that the Chiefs know he’s good and implied that their defensive strategy revolves around containing him. In summary, while Chase recognizes the Chiefs’ approach to playing against him, he downplays the presence of a defensive superstar on their team.
