Cincinnati Bengals rookie receiver Ja'Marr Chase eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in receiving in the fourth quarter of his 13th National Football League game.
Chase, who entered Sunday's Week 14 game against the San Francisco 49ers ranked 6th in the NFL - and first among rookies - with 958 receiving yards, surpassed 1,000 yards on a 13-yard catch from Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
Chase is just the third receiver in Bengals' history with a 1,000-yard season as a rookie, joining A.J. Green (1,057) in 2011 and Cris Collinsworth (1,009) in 1981. He's just the 24th rookie in NFL history - and 20th in the Super Bowl era - with 1,000 yards receiving in a season.

From @PFF:
Earlier in the fourth quarter, Chase's ninth TD catch of the season came on Burrow's 24th touchdown pass after Burrow scrambled on a 4th-and-5 before finding Chase in the back of the end zone.
Chase scored the game-tying touchdown (after a successful extra point) with 1:19 left in regulation - the rookie's 10th of the season. His 77 receiving yards Sunday gave him 1,035 for the season, just 22 shy of A.J. Green's Bengals rookie record set in 2011.
