Plus: Dr. Lou Breaks Down Trey Hendrickson [View In Browser]( [Bengals Blitz]( [Ja'Marr Chase]( CHASE IS ON FOR BENGALS AGAINST JEFFERSON'S VIKINGS Ja'Marr Chase meets old friend Justin Jefferson in Saturday's game (1 p.m.-Cincinnati's Channel 9 and NFL Network) at Paycor Stadium that pits the two best wide receivers in the league as a sidebar in a 7-6 interconference playoff skirmish between Chase's Bengals and Jefferson's Vikings. At least that's how Chase sees it. Chase said he's the NFL's No. 1 receiver and Jefferson, his former LSU teammate and stat soulmate, is No. 2. "I'm always going to put myself first," Chase said.

Right from the get-go on the first snap when he bull-rushed left tackle Bernard Raimann into the lap of Colts quarterback Gardner Minshew II for the first of his two sacks and five pressures. "I don't want to ever tie his hand behind his back and say, 'Hey, you've got to rush this way,' " Anarumo said. "(Defensive line coach Marion Hobby) does a great job with those guys and they know how they have to rush different guys. But he just walked the kid right back to the quarterback and that was one thing that Minshew didn't handle well was the pressure right in his face. He'd get antsy." "So I said, 'Hey, just keep bull-rushing this guy for some time here before we (change), and he was able to just move him off the spot some, and it was a great way to start the game."

Not quite as fast as last Sunday's 54-yard run-and-catch, Brown's first NFL touchdown clocked at 22.05 miles per hour, second-best on the NFL GPS this season. Brown's NFL journey has been anything but meteoric. The resilient and determined story of his Toronto childhood with twin Sydney as his family persevered through illness and poverty captured the nation during the NFL Draft. Geoff Hobson: Every day you write down your routine for the day the night before. Did you do it last night? Chase Brown: I still do it. Kind of have it down now. It's like bullet points. Before it was a lot more exact. Now it's just bullet points. [READ MORE]( [B.J.Hill]( BENGALS DEFENSE RIDES AGAIN In his three seasons with the Bengals, three-technique B.J. Hill always seems to save his best with the game on the line. On Sunday he delivered Dan Hoard and Dave Lapham their coffin nails with a diving interception of Colts quarterback Gardner Minshew II that he scraped off the Paycor Stadium turf in the fourth quarter worthy of a Pro Bowl safety. It not only put away a 31-14 game, but it underlined their best defensive effort of the season. They gave the Colts zilch in the second half and Minshew Magic needed a roughing-the-passer call and a fourth-and-one conversion to get the one touchdown they did score. Six days after holding the Jags to 2.8 yards per carry, they held the Colts to 2.6 and frustrated running back Zack Moss on 28 yards and 13 carries. "I'm an athlete. I can do it all. I'm a pretty good athlete," Hill said, still smiling about the athlete question. "That's how we want to do it as a defense. Make plays all over the field. Support the offense. Do what we did today."
