Ja’Marr Chase issues a serious warning that the Pittsburgh Steelers intend to ‘raw dog and kill’ the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football

There are certain sentences that should never come out of a professional athlete’s mouth. “We’re going to raw dog them” is one. “They’re going to raw dog us” is definitely another. Ja’Marr Chase, visibly frightened, told reporters that he knows the Steelers are going to “try to come in and raw dog us and kill us” on Thursday Night Football.

Everyone wants to joke about it but again, Ja’Marr Chase said this with a straight face and I have to be honest, it sounds like a very serious issue.

Credit to Chase for addressing this immediately… and for covering up the obvious “raw dog” jokes by saying that the Steelers want to kill them, too. Just saying Pittsburgh wanted to raw dog them could have been taken the wrong way.

That’s just Public Speaking 101 and thankfully he drove the point home further than what Aaron Rodgers and company allegedly wants to do on Thursday night.

“We know the Steelers are going to come in and try to raw-dog us and kill us. But we will be ready for that challenge and waiting for it.”

You can’t say something like that and expect business as usual the rest of the week. Every single Bengals player is now thinking about it. They’re trying to watch film, but in the back of their minds, they’re hearing “raw dog and kill us.”

Nobody can focus after that. You can’t game plan for “raw dog.” There’s no defensive scheme for that. I bet the majority of Bengals players (outside of Charlie Jones, of course) would much rather be killed than being forced to take it raw from Isaac Seumalo.

Now all week in Cincinnati, you’ve got guys walking around the locker room with tight butt cheeks. Chase did mention that he would be ready for it, which makes sense given the fact that the Bengals own O-Line has been royally fucking Joe Burrow, Chase, and the rest of their offensive weapons for years now.

Again, outside of Charlie Jones… no one is ever ready for that. You can prepare for blitzes, for pressure, for TJ Watt wrecking your backfield but not being raw dogged by another NFL player.

At the very least, Ja’Marr Chase is locked in.

He’s laser focused on protecting his ass (and life) from the sexual deviants in Pittsburgh. That’s the mind of a killer… or a guy who’s about to have the quote of the week clipped and replayed on every NFL show between now and kickoff.

Thursday night’s now must-watch TV. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not because I want to watch the raw dogging. Not my cup of tea. The Bengals and Steelers can keep their sick and twisted games in the AFC North. I have zero interest in watching that nonsense unfold during what should be a relaxing Thursday Night Football game.

Pittsburgh has a chance to completely takeover the division and we haven’t even made it halfway through the regular season. That’s what matters for football guys, not if the Ja’Marr Chase can survive being raw dogged and killed on national television.

Watch those cheeks, Cincy.
