Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey has covered Bengals wide receiver Ja\u2019Marr Chase many times. Maybe more times than he\u2019d like.<\/p>\n
Humphrey and Chase have faced off eight times in the regular season and once in the playoffs. In those nine games, Chase has torched the Ravens for 77 catches for 1,245 yards and eight touchdowns.<\/p>\n
The Ravens and Bengals will meet again on Sunday, and Humphrey said today that covering Chase and fellow Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is a big challenge, and one of the toughest assignments an NFL cornerback can draw.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be cool if I didn\u2019t match up with him so much,\u201d Humphrey said. \u201cHe\u2019s obviously one of the best in the game. Tee is right up there with him, in the Top 10, I think, in this league. There will be plays made, I think the biggest thing going into this matchup is to try to win more than they win and try to limit the explosives. That\u2019s the biggest thing when you\u2019re guarding those Top 10, Top 5 guys. It\u2019s an all-hands-on-deck game. We look forward to the challenge. I think it\u2019ll be a great opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the success Chase has had against him, Humphrey said he\u2019s eager for a big game on Sunday between the 4-2 Ravens and 3-2 Bengals.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very confident. I think we\u2019ve had some tests this year, but this will be by far the biggest test yet,\u201d Humphrey said.<\/p>\n
If Chase\u2019s past is any indication, it\u2019s going to be a very big test for Humphrey and the Ravens\u2019 secondary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey has covered Bengals wide receiver Ja\u2019Marr Chase many times.
