Cincinnati Bengals’ star Ja’Marr Chase thinks he knows who the biggest rivals of his career so far have been, but fans are not exactly sold on his thoughts.
Since being drafted in 2021, the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver has gone 4-5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, all in regular-season games. Meanwhile, he has gone 3-3 against the Kansas City Chiefs, including 1-1 in the playoffs, both in the AFC Championship Game.

It was amid this backdrop that he was asked the aforementioned question during his media availability on Thursday. He gravitated towards the Chiefs:
“They’re way higher than that.”
His comments drew criticism from fans:
“Both teams own the Bengals,” one giggled.
“Dude is stuck in the past,” another sneered.
“Rivalry? The Bungles have been pathetic for decades,” one maintained.
“I mean, the Steelers are up 30 wins all time,” another reminded.
“2021 FC strikes again,” one sneered.
“Can’t be a rivalry if it’s constantly one-sided,” another reminded.

He said fans have asked him to sign merchandise featuring the moment:
“I love it, because I want to do it again. But I don’t want to get fined. But I love it. It’s a cool picture, honestly.”
When asked when he would most likely do the gesture again, he said:
“If it was the Super Bowl, yes. I would definitely do it again.”
Kickoff for the Bengals-Steelers game is at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
