Ja'Marr Chase downplays Steelers rivalry, rates Chiefs higher
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Nov, 17:32 · Archive
Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase says the Steelers-Bengals rivalry ranks below the team's rivalry with Kansas City.
Ja'Marr Chase has downplayed the importance of the Steelers-Bengals divisional rivalry. The Cincinnati Bengals receiver acknowledged the rivalry exists but said the Kansas City Chiefs rank significantly higher in his assessment of the team's matchups.
Chase cited the Bengals' back-to-back meetings with Kansas City in the AFC Championship games during the 2021-22 playoffs as the reason for ranking the Chiefs rivalry above the Steelers. The Bengals and Steelers, by contrast, have not faced each other in a playoff game since the 2015 postseason.
The two divisional rivals have had contentious moments in recent years. During a Week 11 matchup last year, a skirmish occurred involving Chase and Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey, who was ejected from the game. It was later discovered that Chase had spit at Ramsey, resulting in a one-game suspension for Chase.
