Cincinnati wideout Ja’Marr Chase fully committed to the “Always Open” bit by repping a 7-Eleven chain in his latest contest. He then backed his words up by leading the team in receiving for the fourth consecutive week.
The Bengals struggled early on offense in this 2023 campaign, leading to a slow start in the win column. Chase’s frustrations came to a head after a 27-3 loss to the Titans in Week 4.
While he hauled in seven passes for 73 yards to lead all pass catchers, the Bengals were held out of the endzone.
In his postgame interview, he said, “I’m open. I’m always f—– open,” openly begging for more opportunities in the passing attack.
He later posted a photo of a 7-Eleven storefront to his Twitter timeline, as the convenience store, too, is open 24/7. It’s now led to an unexpected partnership.

Since that Week 4 loss, he’s racked up 21 catches for 272 in a pair of Cincinnati wins. He was again Joe Burrow’s favorite target on Sunday, helping the Bengals take down Seattle.
Chase did so while rocking some flashy jewelry on the field.

The chain is actually part of a marketing deal between the Cincy receiver and 7-Eleven. NFL fans can now purchase “Always Open” merchandise, including that chain Ja’Marr Chase was flashing today.
The $120 pendant is the most expensive item on the website, which also includes a number of different t-shirt designs, as well as a snapback hat.
It seems the franchise struck while the iron is hot given Chase’s performance over his last two contests. One of the league’s top receivers since entering the NFL back in 2021, the pass catcher is looking to record his third straight 1,000-yard season.
