Pat Surtain II’s impressive rookie season…

In Sunday’s game vs. Cincinnati, two top-10 picks from the 2021 NFL Draft finally had the opportunity to face off on the field. Despite their teams meeting twice in college, Broncos CB Pat Surtain II and Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase have never gone head-to-head in a game.

That changed on Sunday, when the Broncos hosted the Bengals for their Week 15 matchup. Surtain was tasked with containing Chase, who, despite racking up over 1,000 yards so far this season, was held to only one catch for three yards on the day.

 “This week, Surtain covered Chase primarily 10 times, and Chase didn’t get a target on any of those plays,” Monson wrote. “Surtain allowed just two catches for 21 yards all game against Cincinnati.”
