Sunday's game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Cincinnati Bengals will surely bring us some Ja'Marr Chase vs. Travis Hunter matchups.
Chase is arguably the best receiver in football and has eclipsed the 1,200-yard receiving mark every season he's been in the NFL. This includes surpassing 1,700 yards twice. Last season against Jacksonville, Chase went for 165 yards and a touchdown in Week 2.
Earlier this week, when Chase was asked about Hunter, specifically where he's improved from Year 1 to Year 2, he had little -- or nothing -- to say.
"That's all I got," Chase said after pondering for a second and then saying nothing.

Hunter has been rotating at the cornerback position with Montaric
Brown and Jarrian Jones, although this past week he played a season-high 45 defensive snaps.
On the season, Hunter has allowed six receptions on 10 targets at 17.2 yards per catch, with an interception and a pass breakup. He's been penalized once as well.
This year, defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile has used man coverage at a higher rate, which could create more one-on-one opportunities between Hunter and Chase. However, with that, the defense has surrendered a number of explosive plays through the air.
Finding a way to limit Chase's impact will be key for Jacksonville.
