"As the Bengals drained the clock up, 17-6, Chase urged the coaches to put in rookie wide receiver Jermaine Burton.
But on second-and-six from the Browns 32, wide receivers coach Troy Walters told Chase he might want to re-think that since the play call was "Whiskey."
Whatever that is, Chase took a shot, and it turned into a free drink because Browns sack ace Myles Garrett jumped offsides and Chase got behind the secondary and caught a lob by himself.
Chase, who continues to lead all the spots for the receiver Triple Crown, could only shake his head at his good fortune.
"I went out there and it was just nothing but God at that point that it got called," Chase said. "I was looking out for Jermaine."

On that play, Chase became the first Bengal receiver or rusher to get 1,500 yards in a season.
"It's a blessing man. Honestly, it's a blessing," Chase said. "To sit here and say that I didn't want to go in on that last play, and that one catch got me to 1,500. So, it's nothing but a blessing and I couldn't have been happier but thank God at that point."

Love hearing this from Ja'Marr, thanks Nepa. He is a very special player and I like hearing him looking out for Jermaine who is a talent.
Ja'Marr Chase is doing something insane right now being mentioned in the same breath as the elite of elites of all time.
