Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase lost his cool in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 26-25 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Chase, who expressed his frustration with the way Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie had tackled him, had to be restrained by quarterback Joe Burrow, but that didn’t prevent him from drawing a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that pushed the Bengals from a third-and-7 to a third-and-22.
CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson said during the broadcast that Chase believed McDuffie used an illegal hip-drop tackle to bring him down, though video replay shows he did not.
Though he was asked several times about what he said to the official that drew the flag, Chase refused to talk about the situation. However, official Alex Kemp explained what happened in a pool report following the game.
