The Cincinnati Bengals have finally won an NFL playoff game for the first time in 31 years – and two men stand tallest in helping them get there: quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase.

After flexing his muscles on the Las Vegas Raiders, Chase issued a stern warning towards the rest of the NFL

“I don't think I can be stopped,” said the Bengals wideout in a deadpan tone, showing just how serious he is about the claim.

Even before his bold statement, Ja'Marr Chase let his play do the talking on the field. He tallied 116 yards in the air on nine catches, which set the Bengals franchise record for rookie yardage in a playoff game. Chase also added 23 rushing yards for good measure.

Chase has been a revelation for the Bengals early in his career, already being named to the Pro Bowl and pulling down 13 touchdowns in his rookie season. He set several Cincinnati rookie records in the process.

While he didn't reach the end zone in this one, it's probably a safe bet that he'll have many more chances in the future as the Bengals look like a serious playoff threat, this season and going forward.
