Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase already has set records in his rookie season, but he added another on Saturday.

Earlier this year, he broke the Bengals' single-season receiving yard record previously held by Chad Johnson. He broke Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson's record for most receiving yards in a season by a rookie.

And now, the LSU product is the first rookie in the NFL history with multiple 100+ receiving yard games in the playoffs.

Chase racked up 109 yards on five catches in the Bengals' 19-16 win over the Tennessee Titans in the divisional round. Last week in the Bengals' wild card game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Chase totaled nine catches for 116 yards in the win.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow relied on Chase late in the game against the Titans. After the Bengals' defense picked off Ryan Tannehill with 20 seconds left, Burrow hit Chase with a 19-yard completion that helped Cincinnati get into field goal range for Evan McPherson to nail the game-winning field goal as time expired.

The 21-year-old will have a chance to make it three playoff games with 100+ receiving yards when the Bengals play in the AFC Championship next week against the winner of the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills.
