Ja’Marr Chase Gives Hilarious Quote About Steelers’ Minkah Fitzpatrick

Fitzpatrick skirted the 'most-hated list'

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase and Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick aren’t the biggest fans of one another.

Chase famously made that clear back in 2022, giving his foe the double birds amid an early-season matchup in which Fitzpatrick had the game of his life — returning an interception for a touchdown, blocking a potential game-winning field goal for Cincinnati and ultimately earning AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors.

How does the 24-year-old currently feel about his AFC North foe?

“Minkah’s not even ranked on my most-hated list, honestly,” Chase said on Wednesday, per Caleb Noe of WCPO. “I don’t got a problem with Minkah. He just caught me in the heat of the moment that one year.”

So… about that most-hated list? Chase isn’t willing to spill the beans.

The Bengals will essentially be fighting for their lives on Sunday as they travel into a frigid Pittsburgh, though, so maybe another stellar game from Fitzpatrick will be enough to crack the list.
