Again, I just want to point out that Ward shut Diggs as down last week and he didn't REALLY get abused by Chase a few weeks back as much as Chase just made some God Mode catches on him.
Yeah, double Chase in key spots, but you can gamble on single coverage out there as well on occasion. No sense in making it easy on Burrow and getting into a pattern. It's not like Higgins and Boyd are trash out there.
And the real issue with Chase needs to be tackling. When he catches it, he's very similar to Deebo in that he almost turns into a RB with the ball in his hands. Ward and Sneed are elite tacklers (for CBs) and the safeties need to be willing to get dirty behind them.
He's going to get his. Selling out to stop him will do little but give Higgins a chance at a Gabriel Davis sort of game. Mix up your coverages, gamble when the time is right and give Burrow plenty of different looks.
The Bengals weren't world beaters this year - no sense in pretending like they were.
