Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor stated Friday that he disagreed with star wideout Ja’Marr Chase’s current evaluation of the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs protection.
Chase stated Thursday that he wasn’t impressed with Kansas Metropolis’s protection.
The Chiefs (9-6) host the Bengals (8-7) in Week 17 at 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday in a contest with heavy implications on the AFC playoff picture.
This is not the primary time that Chase has been concerned in a confrontation forward of a matchup in opposition to the defending Tremendous Bowl champions.
In December 2022, Kansas Metropolis security Justin Reid said he would “lock down” Cincinnati extensive receiver Tee Higgins within the Week 13 showdown. Reid later clarified on social media that he meant to say tight finish Hayden Hurst, whose identify he could not bear in mind.
The Bengals two-time Professional Bowler then shot back at Reid on X, then generally known as Twitter. The defensive again completed the sport with three solo tackles. Chase recorded a game-high seven catches for 97 yards, whereas Higgins had three receptions for 35 yards and one landing. Hurst posted solely two catches for 12 yards, however Cincinnati gained the AFC Championship Sport rematch.
The groups met once more in January’s AFC title sport, and this time, the Chiefs acquired revenge with a 23-20 win.
Chase is questionable for Sunday’s sport on account of a shoulder harm.
