The Cincinnati Bengals have one of the NFL’s most recognizable stars in Joe Burrow, but FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd believes a different member of the offense deserves more attention.
During his latest “Herd Hierarchy,” Cowherd ranked Cincinnati ninth among NFL teams entering Week 2 and made a striking declaration about Chase Brown.
“I think Chase Brown is the best running back in the NFL,” Cowherd said via FOX Sports
.
Cowherd mentioned Brown’s production down the stretch last season while explaining his confidence in the Bengals.
Cincinnati enters Week 2 at 1-0 following a 33-27 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Brown opened his fourth NFL season with 16 carries for 56 yards and a touchdown. He added five catches for 22 yards, giving him 78
yards from scrimmage. The score continued an impressive run for the former fifth-round pick, who has now reached the end zone in five of his past six games dating back to last season.
Cowherd also described Cincinnati as the NFL’s second-most-improved team and projected it as a playoff team, pointing toward an upgraded defense alongside Burrow and Brown.
