Chase has 16 touchdown catches, and needs one more to tie Carl Pickens' Bengals' single-season record set in 1995. St. Brown and the Washington Commanders ' Terry McLaurin have 12 each.
Chase can become the fifth player since 1970 to win the receiving triple crown
If Chase finishes the regular season as the leader in all three categories, he'll be the fifth player since 1970 to do so, joining the Los Angeles Rams ' Cooper Kupp in 2021, the Carolina Panthers ' Steve Smith in 2005, the San Francisco 49ers' Jerry Rice in 1990 and the Green Bay Packers ' Sterling Sharpe in 1992.
