Ja'Marr Chase Criticizes Bengals' Coaching After Loss

Following the Cincinnati Bengals' 34-27 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, star receiver Ja'Marr Chase pointed fingers at head coach Zac Taylor when discussing the team's inability to finish games. Chase stated, "Ask Zac, ask the coaches. Don't ask me. That's not my job," highlighting his frustrations as the Bengals fell to a disappointing 4-7 record. Despite Chase's strong performance, with seven catches for 75 yards and two touchdowns, Cincinnati has now lost six games by seven points or less this season. The Bengals rallied from a 27-6 deficit but missed critical field goals that could have swung the game in their favor. Quarterback Joe Burrow acknowledged the team's struggles to make plays down the stretch, suggesting a collective issue rather than pointing solely at the coaching staff. The loss raises concerns about team morale and the direction of the Bengals as they face a challenging playoff picture.
