Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase Is Loving Joe Burrow's 'Aggressive' Attitude
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is pleased by what's he's seen from quarterback Joe Burrow so far.
In an interview with NFL Network, Bengals wide receiver Ja Marr Chase expressed his admiration for quarterback Joe Burrow's newfound aggressive attitude as the team gears up for the 2026 season. Chase stated that he particularly enjoys seeing Burrow "pissed off" and believes it brings out a fire within the star quarterback. Burrow, who missed a significant portion of the 2025 season due to a Grade 3 turf toe injury, has shown flashes of this fiery demeanor during the preseason.
Chase noted that while Burrow exhibited some aggressive traits early on in training camp, his current level of aggression is more pronounced, evident in his facial expressions, tone of voice, and overall demeanor. Despite this aggressive shift, Burrow's performance last year was marked by a solid 66.8% completion rate, 1,809 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and five interceptions.
Looking ahead, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor confirmed that Burrow and other key starters will see action in the preseason opener against the Detroit Lions on Thursday, with the regular season commencing on September 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
