Chase Brown Sparks Bengals’ Offense with Incredible Performance
The Cincinnati Bengals have found a lightning bolt in their backfield, and his name is Chase Brown. The 25-year-old running back, drafted in the fifth round in 2023, has become the beating heart of the Bengals’ ground game, electrifying fans and shaking up defenses across the NFL. In the 2025 season, Brown’s relentless drive and versatility have been impossible to ignore. Over 16 games (with 10 starts), he piled up 990 rushing yards and 360 receiving yards, amassing a total of 1,350 yards from scrimmage—good for 17th in the entire league. But numbers alone don’t tell the story: Brown delivered five consecutive games with 100 or more scrimmage yards from Weeks 11 to 16, a feat that not only set pulses racing in Cincinnati but also echoed the greats in franchise history. His 12 total touchdowns (seven rushing, five receiving) across 28 career games have given Bengals fans every reason to believe they’re witnessing the rise of a star. Brown’s journey has not been without its hurdles. After a rookie season interrupted by injury, where he still managed 335 scrimmage yards—322 coming in the final six games—he exploded in his sophomore campaign. Whether it was his explosive 31-yard run in Jacksonville or his lightning-fast 54-yard touchdown reception against Indianapolis (where he clocked 22.05 mph, the second-fastest speed by any ball carrier in the 2023 season), Brown consistently found ways to ignite the Bengals offense. That speed and dynamism made him a fantasy football darling, with managers taking note of his 20.6 fantasy points per game from Week 9 onward, as reported by ESPN Fantasy. Born in London, Ontario, Brown’s path to the NFL was forged through resilience and grit. At the University of Illinois, he posted back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing campaigns and earned second-team All-American honors, becoming the school’s first-ever finalist for the prestigious Doak Walker Award. His twin brother, Sydney Brown, now plays safety for the Philadelphia Eagles, turning family gatherings into a gridiron summit. Brown’s impact extends beyond just the stat sheet. He’s returned nine kickoffs for 230 yards in his career, demonstrating the multi-faceted threat he poses every time he touches the ball. His story is one of perseverance, of seizing opportunity and making history—becoming the first Bengal since Boobie Clark in 1973 to post at least 90 scrimmage yards in eight straight games. As the Bengals continue to build their playoff hopes, all eyes are on Brown to keep the momentum surging. For the latest on Brown’s stats, game logs, and electrifying highlights, check out his Yahoo!
