Cincinnati Bengals superstar wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has done a lot of winning in his football career and has been a part of many talented teams at different levels. From playing in the LHSAA Division I state championship game his sophomore season, to winning the NCAA National Championship in 2019 to going to the Super Bowl in 2021, he’s been on fantastic teams.
He says the 2026 Bengals are the best.
When Chase was asked if the 6-2 Bengals are the best Bengals team he’s played for, he said yes,
and it’s not particularly close.
“I would say, by far [this team is the best Bengals team I’ve played on],” he told Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer on Tuesday. “I know we went to the Super Bowl. We had a good run with those guys. This is another great group we have… Honestly, I think the whole team is one unit.”
The Bengals’ improbable Super Bowl run following the 2021 season, and their narrow loss in the AFC Championship game the following season, were their last two playoff appearances. After three straight seasons of no playoff football, and a roster turnover on the defensive side of the ball, the Bengals are hoping to get back to the postseason once the 2026 regular season comes to an end.
Burrow and the offense have put up staggering numbers over the last three weeks. If that trend continues, the sky’s the limit.
What do you think? Are the 2026 Bengals better than the 2021 squad?
