The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off their fourth consecutive loss, falling 27-18 to the Green Bay Packers. If there is a silver lining for Cincinnati, it's that the offense looked far more competent with Joe Flacco than it did with Jake Browning. However, it's Ja'Marr Chase who made headlines for revealing something he may not have wanted to.
Chase had one of the best touchdowns of the weekend, making an incredible catch in tight coverage to power into the end zone. Chase was asked about the play, and admitted he changed the call in the huddle.
“It was actually called another play, but I was telling (Flacco) to change it because they were jumping a lot of routes,” Chase said via Jay Morrison. “But they ended up clouding me instead of running three buzz to my side. It just ended up working. He just threw it up to me, and I just [made] the catch.”
This doesn't paint a great picture for Zac Taylor, who continues to look less competent by the week. Especially when Chase said that it wasn't the first time this has happened. Regardless of the outcome of this season, the calls for the Bengals to move on from Taylor look more and more warranted by the week.
The Bengals will host the Steelers on Thursday night. Should they lose in Week 7, whatever slim chances they have at winning the division will be all but gone.
