CINCINNATI — Ja'Marr Chase won't be overstepping any bounds amidst a horrific defensive start from Cincinnati this season.

Chase is holding up his part as a solid candidate for NFL Offensive Player of the Year, but he's not offering much expertise to the defense, outside of a cornerback tip here or there.

"I can't really say too much, besides probably picking at a certain receiver route or like, what he does best, probably to one of the corners or nickels, one of the guys like that, just giving small tendencies," Chase noted about his involvement on that side of the ball. "But other than that, I can't really say much on the defensive perspective."

Chase has torched his fair share of secondaries, especially with Tee Higgins on the field. Yet, it hasn't been enough to stay afloat in the AFC. Following this rough opening stretch from the secondary sharing his sideline, the All-Pro talent is confident they'll catch a midseason stride.

"I've seen it happen," Chase declared about a defensive turnaround. "I've seen us be at the worst and build from it. This is one of those moments and I know we can do it just because of the people we have around us and no one in this locker room wants to want to quit or have quit in them."

Another chance to answer the bell arrives on Sunday night.
