Chase delivered a flawless, chain-moving outing against Pittsburgh, winning key leverage matchups highlighted by a red-zone touchdown beat against Jalen Ramsey.
Chase anchored Cincinnati's passing attack with an 80 receiving grade, never logging a single negative-graded snap across 60 plays. He consistently separated on intermediate routes, notably converting a critical 4th & 2 on a 21-yard deep out (Q3 10:11) and adding a 17-yard catch-and-run on a dig route (Q4 02:08). Near the goal line, he beat press-man coverage against Jalen Ramsey for a 3-yard score (Q1 05:54). Combined with reliable possession work on 3rd downs and sound perimeter blocking (62 grade), his mistake-free day comfortably secured his solid grade.
