Ja’Marr Chase could not hide his delight at Joe Burrow’s performance in the Cincinnati Bengals’ huge win over the Denver Broncos.

Burrow inspired the Bengals to a 30-24 overtime win on Saturday night to keep their playoff hopes alive.

The quarterback was so good that some have deemed Burrow to be the best player in the NFL right now.

Burrow continued his stellar season by completing 39 of his 49 pᴀsses for 412 yards and three touchdowns – including the game-winner in overtime.

The 28-year-old has at least 250 yards pᴀssing and three touchdowns in eight straight games, extending his NFL record. 

Chase, who had nine receptions for 102 yards on Saturday, took to social media to praise his quarterback after game, offering a three-word verdict.

He wrote: ‘POP IT SHIEST’

Shiest is one of a number of nicknames given to Burrow since he moved into the NFL with the No. 1 overall pick in 2020.

The name was given to him by TikTok influencer Traphouse Sports. 

Urban Dictionary defines shiesty as ‘an action that is greedy and/or inconsiderate. When someone is shiesty it means they don’t think about others and do things that help them even if they know it harms someone else in anyway.’

That certainly fits with Burrow at the moment, given the way he is carving up NFL defenses. 

Cowboys star Micah Parsons even argued Burrow’s case for the coveted Most Valuable Player award following the Broncos game.

In fact, the Dallas Cowboys star believes it should not even be up for debate if he propels his team into the postseason.

He posted on X after the Bengals’ win over the Broncos: ‘If Joe burrow takes this team to the playoffs I don’t even think it should be in question who’s MVP!! God damm! Best in the world rn!’

A more significant figure who agrees with Parsons’ take is Bengals head coach Zac Taylor.

Taylor also heralded Burrow as this season’s MVP after his quarterback’s latest breathtaking display, stressing that he would not trade him for ‘any player in the universe’. 

‘I don’t know that anyone can stand on a field and watch Joe Burrow and say that he’s not the best player in the world,’ he argued.

‘And you can transfer that argument to [Bengals wide receiver] Ja’Marr Chase as well. And you can argue those two to death. But the clearest thing I can say is I would not trade Joe Burrow for any player in the universe, and so to me that’s MVP.’
