NBA star Chris Paul tweets photo of Ja'Marr Chase jersey before Bengals-Titans game
NBA star Chris Paul tweeted last Saturday after the Cincinnati Bengals' first playoff win in 31 years that he needed a jersey of standout rookie receiver Ja'Marr Chase.
It appears he got one.
Ahead of the Bengals' Divisional Round win against the Titans in Nashville to reach the AFC Championship, Paul shared a photo of a Chase jersey.
From the Bengals via Twitter:
Nice jersey, @CP3 https://t.co/7cR4Fm1wsZ

Chase, who earlier this month broke Chad Johnson's Bengals' single-season record for receiving yards, had nine catches for 116 yards against the Raiders in his playoff debut. He had a 57-yard catch and run in the first quarter Saturday against Tennessee to set up a Bengals' field goal:
Ja'Marr. Chase.

Chase finished the Bengals' Divisional Round win in Nashville with five catches for a team-high 109 yards, including a 19-yard reception from quarterback Joe Burrow to set up Evan McPherson's game-winning field goal.
Paul, who has said he's a Dallas Cowboys fan, is in his second season with the Phoenix Suns and 17th in the NBA.
