The Los Angeles Rams secondary has met a multitude of standout wideouts over the season so far, and the unit will meet another such talent in Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase in Super Bowl 56.

Rams head coach Sean McVay sees that Chase has been an instrumental player in the Bengals’ run to the Super Bowl. Still, McVay believes that the Bengals wide receiver corps is also more than just Chase, which he explained further during a recent press conference.

“[Ja'Marr] Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd present arguably as good of 11 personnel grouping from the receiver spot as there is in this league,” McVay said.

Regardless of the personnel grouping or situation at hand, opposing secondaries across the NFL have not had much of an answer for Chase’s all-around skill set as a receiver. As McVay touched on, this has also been much of the case when the Bengals have opted to go with an 11 personnel grouping, which calls for three wideouts, one running back and one tight end.

In regular season play, Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan called on 11 personnel grouping for a staggering 78 percent of the team's total plays on offense, which ranked just behind the Rams (85 percent) for the league-lead. The Bengals notched a keen 49 percent successful play rate in 11 personnel.

A monumental test sure awaits Chase and the Burrow in Super Bowl 56 against a Rams defense that recorded a fifth-best 83.8 passer rating allowed over the regular season.
