Who's going to light a competitive fire under the Cincinnati Bengals' collective rears entering Week 5? If it ain't head coach Zac Taylor, perhaps superstar wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is the man for the job.
Chase is admittedly not the most vocal player. Similar to his college and professional QB1 Joe Burrow, the reigning Triple Crown-winning wideout lets his play do the talking for the most part.
But now that Burrow is sidelined, Chase is stepping up in that regard. For someone whose words carry a lot of weight when he does sound off, the latest public-facing statement Chase made toward his teammates could be galvanizing force for Sunday and thereafter.
