The former Defensive Player of the Year tormented Cincinnati offensive lines throughout his career with the Browns, routinely forcing game plans to revolve around slowing him down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Since entering the NFL in 2017, Garrett has recorded 102.5 career sacks and has become one of the most dominant pass rushers of his generation. Against Cincinnati alone, he consistently disrupted games with pressure, strip sacks, and game-changing plays, tallying 16 sacks against the Bengals in just 14 games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Now, for the first time in nearly a decade, Joe Burrow and the Bengals no longer have to face off against Garrett twice every season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">While Chase downplayed the emotional impact publicly, his response revealed what many around the league are already thinking: removing a player like Garrett from Cleveland significantly changes the equation for every offense in the division.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Chase was not alone in his reaction. Fellow receiver Tee Higgins gave the same answer when asked about the move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cIt\u2019s good for us, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">That simple response reflects the quiet confidence currently surrounding Cincinnati\u2019s locker room. The Bengals already believe they possess one of the NFL\u2019s most dangerous offenses with Burrow, Chase, Higgins and Chase Brown leading the way. Now, with Cleveland losing its defensive centerpiece and Pittsburgh and Baltimore both facing major offseason questions of their own, Cincinnati sees an opening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Burrow has already spoken this offseason about the hunger inside the locker room after last season\u2019s disappointment. Chase\u2019s comments only reinforced that mentality. There was no extended celebration, no trash talk, and no dramatic reaction, just a quick acknowledgment from one of the NFL\u2019s biggest stars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">And then back to practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ja\u2019Marr Chase did not waste much time celebrating the Cleveland Browns trading Myles Garrett out of the AFC&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":915952,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2053],"tags":[45790,228,227,256,1561,2296,7,6],"class_list":["post-915951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cincinnati-bengals","tag-afc-north-news","tag-bengals","tag-cincinnati","tag-cincinnati-bengals","tag-cincinnati-bengals-news","tag-cincinnatibengals","tag-football","tag-nfl"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116731096811263617","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=915951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/915952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=915951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=915951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=915951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
