Ja'Marr Chase-Jalen Ramsey showdown predictions
Ja'Marr Chase won't be able to shake Jalen Ramsey
Even with All-Pro talent Jalen Ramsey covering him like white on rice, Ja'Marr Chase is still likely to get a few touches and make some big plays for the Bengals. Now he may have a productive game, but he definitely won't be able to do whatever he wants and Ramsey is well aware of the fire power Chase brings against any secondary he crosses paths with. Unfortunately for Chase, Ramsey has a tendency to shutdown star wideouts on a regular basis and take them completely out of their element.

There's no doubt that Chase is a rising superstar in this league, but Ramsey is in the same tier of talent as Chase and has been around longer too. With a Super Bowl title and homefield advantage on the line, Ramsey will be making things difficult for Chase all game long.
Jalen Ramsey will outduel Ja'Marr Chase and nab a pick six
All year long, Ramsey has been locking down the best deep threats in the NFL and Sunday's showdown with Chase should be no different. His experience, tenacity, and skill will be all too much for the young and inexperienced Chase to handle during Super Bowl 56. Plus with the Rams elite pass rush and the Bengals relatively weak offensive line, Ramsey will benefit from this greatly.
He'll more than likely be able to snag a pick six off Joe Burrow who'll be on the run all game long. Ja'Marr Chase may have a few big plays early on, but as the game wears on Ramsey will figure out Chase and exploit his weaknesses. Experience always outweighs youth and that is what will give Ramsey the edge when he goes toe-to-toe with Chase on Super Bowl Sunday.
This won't be an easy feat for Ramsey by any means, but history has shown that defenses win championships and as one of best defensive players in the league, he'll rise to the occasion and take down one of the most explosive receivers in the game. Jalen Ramsey may get worn out at times, but his endurance and grit will keep him going as he aims to be a vital part of the Rams historic title run.
