Burrow and Chase. They go together like… name any classic combination.
To have those two playing football together again in 2025 is something all Bengals fans should be thankful for. For only the third time this season, we’ll see the NFL’s best quarterback-wide receiver combo on the field together when the Bengals face the Ravens Thursday night.
“It’s good to have him back. You know what I’m saying?” Chase said this week about Burrow. “I’m happy I got my friend back out there. Glad he’s back. I know he’s excited for it. We’re not going to get a better game for him to come back.”
Interestingly, Chase did not practice with Burrow last week. Therefore, since Burrow started going full last week, the two together will only have a limited number of reps together heading into Thursday night.
Remember how limited reps impacted them through Weeks 1 and 2 in 2024? Then again, Weeks 3-18 were as prolific as we have ever seen from a quarterback-wide receiver duo.
Baltimore is an opponent Chase knows well, and the Ravens have proven unable to even contain him, let alone stop him.
Chase exploded for 21 receptions, 457 yards, and five touchdowns in two games against the Ravens. Here’s the crazy thing, though: Those are just two of the incredible games he’s had against the Ravens.
Remember his rookie season in 2021? Chase had 15 receptions for 326 yards and a touchdown in two games against the Ravens that season.
If Burrow and Chase go off on the Ravens again on Thanksgiving, it may be the most impressive performance of their careers.
