<p>For the third consecutive season, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Cincinnati Bengals</a></strong> fell short of making the playoffs, a situation that has caused a lot of frustration. One of the most affected by this is <strong>Ja’Marr Chase</strong>, who is determined to get his team back into the spotlight in the upcoming <strong>NFL</strong> season.</p>



<p>To position themselves among the teams contending at least for a postseason spot, the <strong>Bengals know they need to surround <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow">Joe Burrow</a> as effectively as possible</strong>. Now fully recovered from his serious injury, he will once again be the primary leader of Zac Taylor’s team.</p>



<p>In recent statements to the press, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ja&apos;marr-chase">Chase</a> made it clear that he will do everything in his power to help his teammates, while <strong>emphasizing that the franchise already knows what it takes to be a contender.</strong></p>



<p><em>“Yeah. I mean, <strong>everybody pretty much knows what we need</strong>,”</em> the WR said, via Russell Heltman of <em>SI.com. “I’ve said it out in the media. All I gotta do is sit back and watch. I can’t control that, so all I gotta do is control my production.</em></p>

<p><em>“I mean, at the end of the day, I’m just stating my opinion on what I think we need. So, you know,<strong> I sit back, let the organization do what they do, and I just gotta let my play do the rest.</strong>”</em></p>



<h2>A strong performance that fell short</h2>

<p>Ja’Marr <strong>Chase put together a stellar individual campaign in 2025</strong>, further cementing his status as one of the league’s premier wideouts. Throughout the season, he served as the engine of the Bengals’ offense, <strong>hauling in 125 receptions for 1,412 yards and finding the end zone 8 times. </strong></p>



<p>While his consistency was evident in his 11.3 average yards per catch, these impressive numbers unfortunately <strong>weren’t enough to propel Cincinnati into the postseason. </strong></p>



<p>Despite Chase’s elite production and week-to-week dominance, the team ultimately fell short of a playoff berth, leaving his standout performance as a bittersweet highlight of a missed opportunity.</p>

<p>Ja’Marr Chase tried to appeal the one-game suspension the NFL gave him for spitting in Jalen Ramsey’s face during the Week 11 game between the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> and the Cincinnati Bengals.</p>



<p>However, Chase was not successful, and insider Adam Schefter provided more details about what happened. <em>“Hearing officer Jordy Nelson, jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA, has upheld the one-game suspension of Cincinnati’s Ja’Marr Chase.”</em></p>



<p>At first, Chase denied spitting on Ramsey, but when a video clearly showed his action, he refused to speak to the media. Now, he will have to accept the punishment and the money he will lose as a consequence.</p>



<h2>How much money will Ja’Marr Chase lose after his suspension?</h2>



<p>Ja’Marr Chase will lose $507,156 after the one-game suspension imposed by the NFL. Of that amount, $448,333 represents his weekly salary, and he will also lose a per-game bonus of $58,823.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jamarr-chase">Ja’Marr Chase</a></strong> insisted, <strong><em>“I didn’t spit on nobody,”</em></strong> following the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, despite video evidence <strong>clearly showing him spitting on Jalen Ramsey.</strong> The Cincinnati Bengals star will now receive a harsh penalty from the NFL, sidelining him for this Sunday’s upcoming game.</p>



<p><em>“The NFL<strong> is suspending Bengals star WR Ja’Marr Chase one game</strong> for unsportsmanlike conduct after he was caught on video spitting on Steelers DB Jalen Ramsey. Barring a successful appeal,<strong> Chase is now set to miss Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots,</strong>”</em> reported Tom Pelissero on X.</p>



<p>With Chase unavailable, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Bengals</a> must look for other options on the depth chart, <strong>including Mitchell Tinsley, Charlie Jones, and Andrei Iosivas.</strong> These players must step up next week to help Tee Higgins and alleviate some of the pressure he faces when catching passes.</p>



<h2>Suspension to cost Chase half a million dollars</h2>



<p>Not only must the Bengals regroup for the game against the Patriots without Chase, but the receiver will also forfeit an entire week’s salary.

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> star defensive back <strong>Jalen Ramsey</strong> has finally broken his silence regarding the highly-charged, on-field altercation with <strong>Cincinnati Bengals</strong> wide receiver <strong>Ja’Marr Chase</strong> that resulted in a fourth-quarter ejection during the AFC North showdown. </p>



<p>According to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-ramsey" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jalen Ramsey</a> assures that Ja’Marr Chase spit on him, and that’s what prompted his reaction to punch the Bengals All-Pro receiver</strong>. However, Chase said on the locker room interviews that he didn’t spit on Ramsey, it’s a matter of their word pitted against each other. An up-close video of the altercation, however, does show a moment where Chase appears to spit on Ramsey just before punch is thrown.</p>



<p>It was a great game by the Steelers secondary, including Ramsey who had two tackles. <strong>The secondary only allowed 192 passing yards to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bengals</a></strong>, that usually is a high-octane, proficient-scoring offense.</p>



<h2>It was a frustrating outing for Ja’Marr Chase</h2>



<p><strong>Usually an unstoppable force, this was not a good game for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jamarr-chase" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chase</a></strong>. He only caught three of 10 targets for 30 yards. Chase, weirdly, was a non-factor. Hence, the Bengals only scored 12 points in the game. The Steelers defense dominated and Chase got frustrated.</p>

<p>This is his third worst-mark of the season. Chase had only two catches for 26 yards in Week 1 and five catches for 23 yards in Week 4. <strong>This game also stops a run of five games with at least six catches and 91 or more receiving yards</strong> <strong>for Chase</strong>.</p>

<p>Just one month ago, the Steelers lost a shootout to the Bengals in primetime. Now, not only did they get the revenge on a divisional rival, but <strong>they pretty much shut down all of the Bengals offense, which is no easy feat</strong>.</p>



<p>Also, <strong>they now climb to a 6-4 record that keeps them atop of the AFC North</strong>. Winning the division guarantees the Steelers a home playoff game. Hence, it was a vital win to get as we enter the last stretch of the season.</p>

<p>After the 33-31 victory over the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> on Thursday Night Football, Joe Flacco admitted that if someone had told him what would happen ten days ago, he wouldn’t have believed that he would experience the feeling of an epic triumph once again. </p>



<p><em>“It’s a good question. It felt like I might not to be honest with you. So, it’s pretty special. You sure hope so. You hope you can come in here and play well. I think this is going to give us a lot of confidence. Hopefully, we can carry that over and use it to our advantage.”</em></p>



<p>Additionally, Flacco warned that, in this short time, he has realized the potential of the Bengals’ offense with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. They can fight for the AFC North. <em>“It was a lot of fun. I love doing this. It’s a lot more fun when that clock hits zero and you’ve gotten the job done. Today, I got to see just the problems Ja’Marr and Tee create for defenses in general. I saw just how a defense has to treat those guys and, if you don’t treat them a certain way, they can hurt you. And if you do treat them a certain way, well, maybe we have some other guys that can get the job done. Those two guys are different.”</em></p>



<h2>Did the Bengals beat the Steelers?</h2>



<p>Yes. The Bengals beat the Steelers 33-31 at the start of Week 7. Now, with a 3-4 record, Cincinnati is alive after the massive trade with the Browns for Joe Flacco. Ja’Marr Chase spoke about his new quarterback, who helped him have a great night with 16 catches and 161 yards.</p>

NFL News: Joe Flacco and Ja'Marr Chase send warning to entire AFC North after win over Steelers

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jamarr-chase">Ja’Marr Chase</a> is enduring another difficult start to the season with the <strong>Cincinnati Bengals</strong>, but things are starting to turn around now that <strong>Joe Flacco</strong> is his quarterback. His recent <strong>16 receptions</strong> against the Steelers were enough to break a franchise record.</p>



<p>Thanks to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-flacco">Flacco</a>‘s heavy reliance on Chase during the victory over the Steelers, those 16 receptions became the<strong> most in a single game in Bengals team history,</strong> granting the star wide receiver a special place in the franchise’s record books.</p>



<p>Chase didn’t hold back after the game, where he racked up 161 yards on 23 targets from Flacco. Speaking highly of his quarterback, he told Cameron Wolfe: <em>“The way he’s so poised in the huddle throughout the whole game.<strong> There’s not many QBs like that</strong>. He makes no facial expressions. That’s going to keep everybody calm.”</em></p>



<p>So far this season, Chase has 629 yards and 5 touchdowns. At this pace, and with Flacco leading the offense, it is highly probable he will once again surpass<strong> 1,500+ receiving yards, </strong>provided he stays healthy and plays most of the remaining games.</p>

<h2>Historic Moment for Flacco with the Bengals</h2>



<p>Through just two starts with the team, Flacco’s statistics, including over <strong>550 passing yards, 5 touchdowns, zero interceptions,</strong> and 60+ completions at a completion rate over 65.0%, set a new NFL benchmark. According to Greg Harvey of OptaStats on X, no other player in league history <strong>has ever reached all those marks in their first two starts </strong>for a single franchise.</p>



<p>Following the victory, Bengals fans were heard chanting <strong><em>“Thank you Cleveland,”</em></strong> a message of gratitude to the Browns for trading Flacco. Flacco himself commented on the win over the Steelers: <em>“I told Aaron after the game, I don’t think I’ve ever beat him.”</em></p>

<p>Week 6 of the 2025 <strong>NFL</strong> season will bring us a must-watch in the second slate of the Sunday games, with the <strong>Cincinnati Bengals</strong> taking on the <strong>Green Bay Packers</strong> at Lambeau Field. In the hours leading to kickoff, there is one important question for many fans — especially those playing fantasy football: <strong>Is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jamarr-chase">Ja’Marr Chase</a> playing today?</strong></p>



<p>The Bengals star wide receiver was <strong>listed as questionable after missing practice time due to illness</strong> during the week, sparking speculation about his status for the Week 6 game.<strong> Still, Chase is officially active and will play</strong> against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Packers</a> today.</p>



<p>Ian Rapoport of <em>NFL Network</em> and Adam Schefter of <em>ESPN</em> had already anticipated the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Bengals</a> would count on their star wideout at Lambeau Field. An hour before kickoff, Tom Pelissero confirmed Chase’s status.</p>



<h2>Joe Flacco might benefit from having Ja’Marr Chase vs. Packers</h2>



<p>Counting on Chase is great news not only for Bengals fans and fantasy owners, <strong>but especially for Joe Flacco</strong>. The veteran quarterback, who was traded to Cincinnati this week, will make his first start in a Bengals uniform shortly after after leaving the Cleveland Browns.</p>

<p>To have a star weapon like Chase at his disposal <strong>could make things easier</strong> for the 40-year-old, who’s taking the helm of the Bengals offense <strong>with only a few practices under his belt.</strong></p>

<h2>Chase, Bengals weapons might help Flacco improve</h2>



<p>Flacco is facing the challenging task of <strong>revitalizing a unit that has struggled since Joe Burrow got injured</strong> in Week 2, with Jake Browning leaving a lot to be desired as the Bengals’ starting quarterback during the LSU product’s absence.</p>



<p>The start of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season hasn’t been easy for Flacco, as his poor performances for the Browns saw him get benched before getting traded. However, it’s safe to say that Cincinnati offers Flacco better weapons than the ones he had in Cleveland. With Chase in line to play today, the seasoned QB might notice that <strong>from his very first start</strong>.</p>

<p>While this isn’t the first time Flacco has become familiar with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jamarr-chase">Chase</a>—he’s certainly seen the star receiver play on film—he understands how capable Chase is and how much he can boost the offense. Although it’s unclear how much time Chase will be on the field, his presence is a major boost for the Bengals.</p>



<p>In recent declarations, it was revealed that Flacco’s family is excited about him playing for Cincinnati; he confessed that his children are “fascinated” by the idea of him throwing passes to Chase.</p>

<h2>Flacco’s 2025 Stats</h2>



<p>In his limited time with the Browns in 2025, Flacco <strong>recorded 815 passing yards on 93/160 completed passes,</strong> but only managed 2 touchdowns while suffering 6 interceptions, finishing his run in Cleveland with a difficult 1-3-0 record.</p>



<p>However, he brings sufficient experience to the Bengals, who possess a better defense and offense than the Browns. With Burrow sidelined, the team has struggled, and coming off a three-game losing streak, it is logical that they look to a veteran like Flacco to try and dig them out of the hole.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a></strong> are paying for their own football sins as once again, they didn’t provide quarterback <strong>Joe Burrow</strong> with protection, and now he is missing three months. Since Burrow went down, the Bengals are 0-3. Hence, they traded for <strong>NFL</strong> veteran <strong>Joe Flacco</strong> in hopes of keeping the season alive while Burrow heals. Superstar wide receiver, <strong>Ja’Marr Chase</strong>, opened up about the situation.</p>



<p><strong>Without <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Burrow</a>, the team has been outscored 113-37</strong>. With backup Jake Browning, the Bengals weren’t able to score. Chase now referred to Flacco as an “<em>all-time great</em>,” but he also sent a message to the team.</p>



<p><em>“<strong>I appreciate the organization&nbsp;trying to make this work. So we’ve got to make it work</strong>,</em>” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jamarr-chase" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chase</a> said, via the Bengals’ website. “<em>They just see that we’ve got a chance. Defense is doing a good enough job to help us out. Ultimately, <strong>we’ve got to have plays in space</strong>. That’s what they’ve seen. That’s what they wanted to keep going. They’ve just given us an opportunity to make more of those plays happen.”</em></p>



<h2>The Bengals should have an explosing passing offense</h2>



<p><strong>Chase won the receiving triple crown last season, leading the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> in receiving yards, receptions, and receiving touchdowns</strong>. This is just a last statement on how elite he is. However, the Bengals’ WR2 could be the first option in 90% of the league. Enters the scene, Tee Higgins.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/10152454/tee-higgins-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Tee Higgins #5 of the Cincinnati Bengals" class="wp-image-506526" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Tee Higgins #5 of the Cincinnati Bengals</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>The former Clemson receiver hasn’t had more than 56 receiving yards this year</strong> and that’s bad. He is incredibly talented and has had four out of his previous five seasons with 900 or more receiving yards. However, <strong>without Burrow, his usage suffers a lot.</strong> He hasn’t had a game of three or more catches all year.</p>

<h2>Flacco is not elite, but he will sling it</h2>



<p>One thing is for sure, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-flacco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Flacco</a> is not afraid to rip the ball</strong>. His arm remains as the one weapon he has, so Chase and Higgins should have a huge upside with him under center. Flacco will risk turnovers hoping for big plays but at this point, and with the receivers in hand, <strong>that might be just what the Bengals need to stay afloat.</strong></p>



<p>Higgins will play as the long-route target as he can impose himself with his 6-foot-4 frame and speed. Chase is more of an all-rounder receiver, capable of doing it all and getting plenty of yards after catch. <strong>To compliment them, Flacco will have a dual-threat running back in Chase Brown. </strong>The Bengals should look better with him.</p>

<p>The <strong>Cincinnati Bengals</strong>’ visit to Empower Field at Mile High didn’t go as expected, ending in yet another loss—this time to the <strong>Denver Broncos</strong>. The team’s performance left much to be desired, to the point that <strong>Zac Taylor</strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ja&apos;marr-chase">Ja’Marr Chase</a></strong> were seen engaging in a heated exchange of words on the sideline.</p>

<p>The frustration was palpable — things weren’t going according to plan. And players like Chase, highly competitive and constantly hungry for victory, are often the first to show their frustration in situations like this.</p>



<p>After the 28-3 loss to Denver was sealed, Taylor spoke to the media and, when asked about the incident with the wide receiver, delivered a clear message on the matter.</p>



<p><em>“Ja’Marr Chase, coming off a game like this, is one of my favorite players to deal with, quite frankly,” </em>he said, <em>“because he’s just competitive. He just wants to win, and it comes across as emotional, but that’s just a captain that works his tail off. <strong>All he wants to do is win the game</strong>. All he wants to do is affect the game, and oftentimes he feels like if, ‘I have the ball in my hand, I can do that,’ and I don’t disagree with him.

<p>The Cincinnati Bengals’ Super Bowl aspirations have been completely derailed by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow">Joe Burrow</a>‘s absence, with the team looking offensively inept in back-to-back blowout losses. </p>

<p>With backup Jake Browning struggling and the offense totaling less than 200 yards in each of those outings, the stunning decline proves just how irreplaceable the former No. 1 overall pick is to the team’s entire operation and playoff hopes.</p>

<p>The <strong>Cincinnati Bengals</strong> are grappling with the loss of Joe Burrow, a key figure in their roster whose absence is keenly felt. With <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jamarr-chase" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ja’Marr Chase</a></strong> now trying to spearhead the team, they suffered a devastating loss to the <strong>Denver Broncos</strong>, leaving analysts and fans alike grasping for words to fully describe their current struggles in the NFL.</p>



<p>After the game, during a media session, Chase expressed his frustration on his social media account, X, offering an eight-word statement that encapsulates his feelings about the challenging start to the NFL season. <em><strong>“Man you all better leave me alone man,”</strong></em> Chase wrote.</p>



<p>In the wake of the crushing 28-3 defeat against the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Broncos</a></strong>, <strong>Chase addressed the media, sending a message to his teammates about the adversity they faced on Monday night.</strong> This came after winning two of their previous three matchups in the league, heading into the showdown in Denver.</p>



<p><em><strong>“Urgency is there but you’ve got to want it.

<h2>Chase’s exchange with Zac Taylor</h2>



<p>During the matchup against the Broncos, Chase was observed having a spirited exchange with Bengals head coach Zac Taylor on the sideline.

<p>A major talking point among analysts and fans on social media centers around the perceived disconnect between players on the field.

<p>Despite the setback on Monday night, Chase and the Bengals are still positioned well in the regular-season standings.

<p>With Joe Burrow’s injury now confirmed and expected to keep him sidelined for several months, the Bengals are now racing against the clock to add another quarterback to their depth chart.

<p>The NFL features stars like <strong>Ja’Marr Chase, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyreek-hill" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tyreek Hill</a>, Justin Jefferson, Stefon Diggs</strong>, and many others.

<p>The NFL has seen some legendary wide receivers throughout its history. But surprisingly, <strong>no player has ever hit the 2,000-yard mark</strong> in a single regular season.</p>

<p>Chase didn’t name anyone specifically, but players like <strong>Tyreek Hill and Justin Jefferson have come close in recent years</strong>. The race to 2,000 yards is on—who will be the first to break into the NFL record books?</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong> is a tough business. It’s not usual to see a player dominate that much so when the <strong>Cincinnati Bengals</strong> wideout <strong>Ja’Marr Chase </strong>won the receiving triple crown, it’s a big deal. However, while that puts him on a level of his own, he had to battle with plenty of tough cornerbacks. A <strong>Shedeur Sanders</strong> teammate on the Cleveland Browns might be the toughest test he’s had yet.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jamarr-chase" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chase</a> appeared on The Sitdown w/ Malik Wright and he was asked on all things football. When asked if he was being called the league’s best wideout, Chase simply said <em>“<strong>I would agree</strong>.”</em> When asked about who’s the toughest corner he’s ever faced, he easily responded as well. <em>“<strong>It’s easy. I mean, Denzel [Ward], it’s twice a year. It’s one on one majority of the time. </strong>He got great feet. He knows leverage, he knows splits. He’s one of the best I like playing.”</em></p>



<p>These are high praises for Ward, since Chase has made himself pretty much unguardable. Chase thinks Ward it’s the toughest matchup and <strong>their battles have been great.</strong></p>



<h2>Ward is a great corner, and Chase’s stats show it</h2>



<p>Chase has played seven games against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Browns</a> and <strong>he has only surpassed 100 receiving yards once</strong>. He averages 57.7 yards per game and has only 3 touchdowns against them. </p>

<p>As for Ward, he’s played 11 games against Cincy and <strong>he’s racked up 3 interceptions, including two pick sixes</strong>. Even Bengals’ quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Burrow</a> knows Ward is a problem to face.</p>

" title="Jim Harbaugh, Justin Herbert receive update on Chargers’ new weapon" publication_id="BUS#/nfl/jim-harbaugh-justin-herbert-receive-update-on-chargers-new-weapon"></div>


<h2>Is Chase poised for another stellar season?</h2>



<p><strong>Winning a triple crown two years in a row is pretty much impossible</strong>. However, the way Chase plays, with Burrow throwing passes to him, and how the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bengals</a> offense is constructed, there’s a chance.</p>



<p>If Chase wants to do it, though, he has to up his stats against Ward and the Browns. Even more, the actual debt the Bengals have is going to the playoffs. They have too good of a roster to miss the party for three years straight. If they do miss the party again, <strong>not even another triple crown for Chase would suffice.</strong></p>
