Another impressive effort Sunday in Baltimore from Cincinnati Bengals rookie receiver Ja'Marr Chase gave him enough receiving yardage this season to pass former Arizona Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin for the most receiving yards by an NFL rookie in his first seven career games.
Boldin had 621 receiving yards through his first seven games in 2003. Chase's 82-yard touchdown catch to give the Bengals a 27-17 lead in the third quarter gave him 174 in the game.
Chase finished the Bengals' 41-17 win with 201 receiving yards on eight catches, increasing his total through seven gamesto 754.
It was Chase's sixth touchdown catch of the season, and quarterback Joe Burrow's 17th TD pass of 2021.
