Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase wanted to let teammate Joe Burrow know that Chase joined the prestigious Madden 99 club before the Bengals' star quarterback did. The Bengals shared video of Chase, who got a 99 overall rating in Madden NFL 26 to become the first Cincinnati player in the club, informing Burrow of his new status.

Ja’Marr Chase Makes Bengals History Before New NFL Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Last season, the Cincinnati Bengals produced one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL, ranking ninth in total yards per game (365.5) and sixth in points per game (27.8).

Bengals edge rushers Trey Hendrickson and Shemar Stewart may have ended their high-profile holdouts, but it remains to be seen if this new duo can spark one of the worst defenses in the league that is currently wasting Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase in their primes.
