The Steelers have largely limited Chase's production in these outings.
CINCINNATI — Sunday's forecast against Pittsburgh figures to be a frigid one for Ja'Marr Chase and the Bengals (high of 30 degrees). Cincinnati's top playmaker discussed the "warm skin" substance he uses to combat the cold, along with Joe Burrow's take on it.
"It's like a like cream or like lotion we put on to keep us warm," Chase said before giving Burrow's thoughts. "He screamed at me in college for doing it. He told me he not throwing me the ball until I took it off."
The substance can get on the ball, but Chase has snuck it into his cold-game routine anyway. The coldest was Cincinnati's win at New England in 2022.
"Yeah," Chase said about that battle being the coldest game of his career. "Run the ball and let's get out of here man."
Pittsburgh's held Chase to 78.5 yards per outing in his carer as he tries to heat up on a Sunday in Cincinnati. All while sneaking on some "warm skin" along the way at 1 p.m. ET.
