Three-time Pro Bowl defensive back Tyrann Mathieu compared Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase to free-agent WR Odell Beckham Jr., and said in a video shared Monday via Twitter by NFL Films that what Chase did in January against Mathieu's former team, the Kansas City Chiefs, was "embarrassing."

Chase had 11 catches for 266 yards against the Chiefs in the Bengals' 34-31 win at Paul Brown Stadium on Jan. 2.

From @NFLFilms:

Mathieu, who played for the Chiefs for the past three seasons, signed a three-year, $33 million deal with the New Orleans Saints in May.

When Chase and quarterback Joe Burrow visit New Orleans in October, it will be their first time playing at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome since leading the LSU Tigers to a win in the College Football Playoff National Championship in Jan. 2020.

Earlier this month, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said the second half of the AFC Championship against the Bengals was the worst effort of his playoff career.
