Ja’Marr Chase Matches Randy Moss’ Touchdown Milestone in Madrid
Ja’Marr Chase joined Randy Moss with seven or more touchdown catches in each of his first six NFL seasons.
Cincinnati Bengals' Ja’Marr Chase achieved a significant milestone in Sunday’s NFL game against the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid. The wide receiver scored his seventh touchdown of the 2026 season, bringing his total to 61 career receiving scores. The accomplishment marked him as the second player in NFL history, following Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss, to reach the seven-touchdown threshold in each of his first six seasons.
Chase’s performance was instrumental in Cincinnati leading 24-10 at halftime, with the wideout contributing a substantial portion of the offense. His career trajectory demonstrates remarkable consistency, as Chase recorded 13 touchdown catches in his rookie season of 2021, followed by nine in 2022, seven in 2023, 17 in 2024, and eight in 2025.
The milestone was officially recognized by the NFL before Week 9 of the season. Chase’s partnership with Bengals teammate Tee Higgins played a crucial role in his success, enhancing both players' performances both within and outside the offense. This milestone also brought Chase one step closer to matching former Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones, who had 27 career games with 100-plus receiving yards before turning 27 on March 1, 2027.
