Ja'Marr Chase: 'All Of Us' Keep Diva Mentality Out Of Bengals' Wide Receiver Room

The Bengals best weapon is happy to share the wealth with his teammates.
In this story:

CINCINNATI — The Bengals wide receivers are more than willing to share the wealth, and it's helped foster a great offensive culture. 

Ja'Marr Chase discussed why the top trio of him Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd don't act like typical "diva" wide receivers.

"I don't know," Chase said about which receiver sets the "no-diva" tone. "Probably all of us. I mean we don't really care. When we see a match-up, and we know we have that advantage—we are going to ask for the ball. It's not us being divas. What it's about is just taking advantage of the matchup that's in front of us."

The trio nearly surpassed 1,000 yards each in 2021, with Boyd finishing at 828.

This season, Chase has missed four games, but still leads the team in targets (97), while Boyd (65) and Higgins (85) are right behind. Joe Burrow does a great job mixing the wealth for this passing game and the receivers are buying into that winning formula.

"That's how you bond," Chase said about winning helping the receiver culture. "You want to win, the only way we can really bond good you know is with winning. Come in here losing every game then we just gonna pout and be mad at each other. Winning helps the bond in the locker room."

The winning ways are rolling right now in Cincinnati. Chase's team currently has the longest win streak of any AFC squad and their longest since 2015.
