Ja’Marr Chase Sends 7-Word Message After Jalen Ramsey News originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase stirred the pot on Monday with a cryptic seven-word post on X that has NFL fans buzzing. 

Just hours after the Pittsburgh Steelers acquired cornerback Jalen Ramsey in a blockbuster trade with the Miami Dolphins—sending safety Minkah Fitzpatrick the other way—Chase took to X with the message: “Every week it gets better and better.” 

The post seems to hint at his confidence heading into a season where he’ll face Ramsey twice annually in AFC North matchups.

The timing of Chase’s tweet aligns perfectly with the trade news breaking, suggesting it’s a subtle jab at the Steelers’ bolstered secondary. 

Ramsey, a three-time All-Pro, joins a Steelers defense already featuring Darius Slay III, making them a formidable challenge for Chase and the Bengals. 

Yet, the 25-year-old LSU Tigers product, who holds the second-most receiving yards by a rookie since the AFL-NFL merger, appears unfazed, his emoji-laden message exuding swagger.

Fan reactions on X were swift and polarized, with some, like hyping up Chase with enthusiastic support, while others predicted the Steelers would “clamp” him this season. 

The banter escalated with claims of sweeps and taunts about the Steelers defense, reflecting the intense rivalry.

Chase, who has the formidable Joe Burrow at his disposal, will look to use the enhanced competition as fuel to get even better as his career progresses.

As the 2025 season looms, Chase’s seven words signal he’s ready for the challenge, turning a trade into fuel for what promises to be an electrifying AFC North showdown.
