We saw that with Young/Rice, Murray/Hopkins, and Stafford/Megatron just off the top of my head, but there are countless others I am sure. It's no mystery why Kirk Cousins put up his two highest TD years, two of his 3 highest passing yard years, and two of his 3 highest QB Rating years all in his 2 years with Justin Jefferson. In the regular season the Bengals were 3-5 when Chase had less than 60 receiving yards, 7-2 when he had more than 60.

Absolutely was hyperbole....Joe Burrow is a one of a kind type of player. No question. I think you know what I was referring to.

That said, Chase has opened up the passing game tremendously...and therefore Zac's playbook. Joe Burrow just happens to execute said playbook with near surgical precision. Then there's the intangible aspect of his game.
