Ja’Marr Chase gets into heated exchange with official, Joe Burrow over possible missed penalty
A no-call in the fourth quarter between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs got Ja’Marr Chase beyond frustrated.
After a tackle on an important drive for Cincy, Chase got after the official in a way that earned him a crucial penalty. As he continued, it led to an exchange between him and Joe Burrow as the Bengals’ quarterback tried to calm his leading receiver down somehow.
Based on the speculation and reporting for the broadcast by CBS, Chase felt as though Trent McDuffie had committed a hip-drop tackle against him in coverage. However, it looks as though he is the only one who felt that way about the play.

Still, it was enough for Chase to go after the referee twice about the lack of call. It went unchecked the first time but it eventually led to the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that pushed Cincinnati back 15 yards. That’s when Burrow got involved with him pushing away and holding him back from the official in the exchange.
It could have been even more costly in the close game between the two contenders in the AFC had it kept the Bengals from scoring. However, Evan McPherson was still able to take the lead with a made kick from 53 yards out.
