The Cincinnati Bengals are back in playoff contention, and it is pure speed leading them to a brace of recent wins.
Cincinnati running back Chase Brown has been running like a giant wasp is chasing him and scored against the Vikings in a week 13 win and again in the team’s latest 34-14 win over the Colts.
The Bengals flyer was recorded at a top speed of 22.05 miles per hour as he ran in a 54-yard touchdown off a pass by Jake Browning.
This is second fastest across the league all season, just trailing Seattle’s DK Metcalf.
The scariest part is that Brown said he “probably could have gone faster.”
Brown has been following the likes of Dolphins speedster Tyreek Hill and wants to maintain the same consistency.
“I’ve seen it on social. He’s a great player. I wouldn’t compare myself to anybody like that yet,” Brown said.
“Maybe years down the road we can start putting my name up to guys of that calibre.
“But right now, I’m just building a name for myself and trying to find ways to help this team on a weekly basis. So keep doing that and the bigger picture will paint itself once I reflect on it all.”
Brown was the 163rd pick in the 2023 NFL draft.
