Burrow/Chase would have to sink to 7 for their next 66 attempts to match that level of ineptitude.

Not sure if it was mentioned but, in the Seattle game, Joe Mixon passed Rudi Johnson for third place on the Bengals all-time rushing leaders list and is 617 yards from taking the second spot from the great James Brooks.

8,061 Corey Dillon
6,447 James Brooks
5,831 Joe Mixon
5,742 Rudi Johnson
5,421 Pete Johnson
4,176 Cedric Benson

Last year, Joe Mixon also had the most catches ever in a season by a Bengal RB with 60. That currently ties him for 49th most catches in a season with . . . Ja'Marr Chase in 2023.

So that means, that in two games, Ja'Marr Chase went from tied for 107th for most catches in a season by a Bengal to 49th. 31 receptions in his last three games. He's only 21 catches shy of his rookie season total and 27 catches shy of last years haul. He's already passed the career high of Eddie Brown who caught 59 in 1991 and Chip Myers' impressive 57 grabs in 1972. Isaac Curts had the above listed 47 catches in 1978 as his career high. The only TEs above him are Jermaine Gresham's 62 in 2014, Gresham's career high of 64 in 2012 and Dan Ross' Bengals TE record of 71 in 1981. So far, Chase has done all of that in seven games.
