How Ja'Marr Chase DOMINATED the Steelers | Film Breakdown

In this episode of Bengals On The Brain, presented by First Star Logistics, Joe Goodberry provides an in-depth film breakdown of Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase's phenomenal performance in the team's crucial Thursday Night Football victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. With the Bengals in a must-win situation and Joe Flacco at the helm after only nine days with the team, Chase delivered one of the most dominant games of his career, reaffirming his status as one of the elite offensive weapons in the NFL. Goodberry sets the stage for this pivotal matchup. The Bengals, coming into the game with a sense of urgency, needed a spark to keep their season alive. That spark came in the form of an offensive explosion, led by a player who has consistently set and broken records since being drafted. From day one, Ja'Marr Chase declared his intention to rewrite the Bengals' record books. As Goodberry notes, he is well on his way to achieving that, now breaking his own records and on pace to own every significant receiving milestone by the end of his career. The core of this episode is a detailed, play-by-play analysis of Ja'Marr Chase's 23 targets against the Steelers. Goodberry meticulously breaks down the route concepts, defensive coverages, and the sheer brilliance of Chase's execution. He highlights how the Bengals' coaching staff, led by Zac Taylor, effectively schemed to get their best player the ball in favorable situations. One key strategy discussed is the use of condensed formations and bunch sets. Goodberry illustrates how bringing Chase in from his traditional outside receiver position and aligning him closer to the formation creates advantageous matchups. By doing so, the Bengals force defenses to adjust, often leaving Chase with more space to operate against defenders who are not accustomed to his unique blend of speed, power, and route-running savvy. A recurring theme in the film review is how the Bengals utilize Chase as an extension of their running game. Goodberry analyzes several screen passes and short routes where the objective is to get the ball into Chase's hands quickly and let his elite after-the-catch ability take over. He points to a specific play in which the offensive line sells a run, draws in the Steelers' linebackers, and creates a wide-open lane for Chase on a simple swing pass. While the gain was modest, Goodberry emphasizes the strategic importance of these plays in keeping the defense off balance and creating bigger opportunities downfield. The analysis also delves into the nuances of Chase's route running. Goodberry showcases plays where Chase's subtle head fakes, sharp cuts, and understanding of leverage leave defenders grasping at air. On one particular play, Chase is lined up against veteran corner Darius Slay. Goodberry breaks down how Chase sells the inside route, forcing Slay to commit before exploding to the outside for a significant gain. It's these high-level details that set Chase apart from other talented receivers and make him a nightmare for defensive coordinators to game-plan against. Beyond the X's and O's, Goodberry touches on the sheer will and determination that Chase displayed. He points to several contested catches and plays where Chase fought through contact to secure the football. There's a palpable sense of awe in Goodberry's voice as he describes a play where Chase, despite being held, nearly comes down with a spectacular one-handed catch. This combination of technical refinement and relentless competitive spirit is what makes Chase not just a great player but a true game-changer. Goodberry also credits quarterback Joe Flacco for his role in this offensive masterpiece. Despite his short time with the team, Flacco demonstrated remarkable poise and a quick understanding of the offensive scheme. Goodberry highlights Flacco's quick release and decisiveness, particularly on timing routes to the outside. The chemistry between Flacco and Chase seemed to grow throughout the game, culminating in a performance that left the Steelers' defense with no answers. This episode of Bengals On The Brain is a must-watch for any football fan who appreciates the art of wide receiver play. Joe Goodberry's expert analysis, combined with the compelling game footage, provides a comprehensive look at what makes Ja'Marr Chase a truly special talent. It's a celebration of a player who is not only living up to the immense hype that surrounded him coming into the league but is also single-handedly capable of changing the trajectory of the Bengals' season.
