Overview
- Chase told NFL Network in a training-camp sit‑down that his personal target is to reach 22–23 receiving touchdowns in a single season to challenge Randy Moss’ 2007 record of 23.
- He emphasized that the record chase is a personal goal and not the team’s priority, saying the Bengals’ main objective remains winning a Super Bowl.
- Chase’s past production provides context: he had 17 receiving touchdowns in his 2024 Triple Crown season and finished 2025 with 125 catches, 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns while Joe Burrow missed time.
- Analysts say the pursuit is ambitious because it depends on quarterback availability, game scripts that create touchdown chances, and team health, though the Burrow–Chase connection makes it more plausible than for most receivers.
- If Chase approaches Moss’ mark it would boost his Hall of Fame conversation and signal a highly productive Bengals offense, but achieving it would require a rare level of scoring share and favorable circumstances across a full season.
