Ja’Marr Chase had an NFL record 457 receiving yards against the Ravens this season

No player in NFL history has done what Bengals quarterback Ja’Marr Chase has done with the Ravens this season.

Chase had 264 receiving yards against the Ravens on Thursday night after his 193-yard game against the Ravens in Week 5. That gives Chase a total of 457 receiving yards against Baltimore this season, the NFL record for receiving yards against a single opponent in a single season.

The previous record was held by Art Powell of the Oakland Raiders, who had 428 receiving yards in two games against the Houston Oilers in 1963. Powell, who died in 2015, has been largely forgotten by today’s NFL fans, but was one of the NFL’s great receivers. (The NFL recognizes all statistics from the AFL in its official records.)

Powell’s record stood for 61 years until Chase broke it last night. But unlike the Chase Bengals, Powell’s Raiders beat the Oilers in both games. Chase made history against the Ravens this season, even though his Bengals lost twice.
