When it comes to the Baltimore Ravens, Ja’Marr Chase has consistently been their absolute nightmare, averaging a mind-boggling 117.1 receiving yards per game against them. That’s the highest number any player has put up against a single opponent in NFL history, with a minimum of 10 games played. The kicker? Chase has yet to crack 100 receiving yards in *any* game so far in 2026.
The Historic Problem for Baltimore’s Secondary
Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey probably doesn’t sleep well the week before playing Chase, and honestly, who could blame him? NBC Sports research confirms Chase doesn’t just “play well” against Baltimore, he routinely “eats Baltimore’s lunch,” and dinner, and breakfast too. That 117.1-yard average isn’t just a good number, it’s an NFL record for consistent dominance against one team. It’s a stat that screams “danger” every time he lines up across from a Ravens defender. You know they’re dreading it.
Zero Triple-Digit Games So Far: What’s Going On?
Here’s where it gets wild: despite that record-setting history against the Ravens, Chase is still chasing his first 100-yard game of 2026. He hasn’t broken that barrier this season. The closest he came was back in Week 3 against Pittsburgh, where he snagged nine catches for a respectable 98 yards in a tough 30-27 loss. So, he’s been close, but hasn’t quite had that breakout game everyone expects from him. Imagine being the team he *has* historically torn apart, knowing he’s due for one of those monster performances.
All eyes will be on Sunday to see if Chase can finally deliver one of his “typical performances” against Baltimore. He’s got the historical precedent, and he’s undoubtedly hungry to finally hit that triple-digit mark in 2026. If anyone can break that duck with a statement game, it’s the guy who already owns the Ravens.
