Ja'Marr Chase continues to add to his impressive rookie campaign.

The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver broke Torry Holt's record for most receiving yards by a rookie in the playoffs during the third quarter of Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Chase entered the contest with 14 catches for 225 yards this postseason, only 17 shy of Holt, who racked up 242 yards for the St. Louis Rams in 1999.

He finished the day with 54 yards and one touchdown on six receptions.

The 21-year-old put on a show during the regular season after being drafted fifth overall in the 2021 draft. He also set an all-time record for most receiving yards in a game by a rookie with 266 versus the Chiefs in Week 17, his second 200-yard outing of the season.

The LSU product finished his first NFL campaign with a franchise single-season record 1,455 yards to go along with 81 receptions and 13 touchdown catches.
