Overview

• LSU teammates Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson meet for the third time in the NFL on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.
• Chase said he plans to perform Jefferson's signature Griddy celebration to "piss him off" if he scores, while noting they usually avoid in-game chatter.
• With Joe Burrow sidelined for at least three months by a grade‑3 turf‑toe injury, Jake Browning takes over at quarterback for the Bengals.
• Minnesota turns to Carson Wentz after rookie J.J. McCarthy’s ankle injury, and the Vikings’ offense has struggled through two games with 95 plays and a 31st-place ranking.
• Chase enters off a 14-catch, 165-yard, one-touchdown Week 2 as Cincinnati seeks its first 3-0 start since 2015 and its first win in six trips to Minnesota.
