Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was still fuming in the locker room after their crushing defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs. The 26-25 scoreline didn’t reflect the contentious nature of the game, which saw several disputed calls go against the Bengals.
“The game was totally unacceptable,” Chase exclaimed in a post-game interview. “It was clearly observed that the officials were blowing in favor of the Chiefs.

“The refs took the game away from us,” Chase asserted. “I’m calling for the cancelation of this game. It’s not fair to us, our fans, or the integrity of the league.” Bengals coach Zac Taylor and several teammates echoed Chase’s sentiments, though stopped short of demanding cancelation.
The NFL has yet to comment on the controversy, but sources indicate that the league will review the game footage and officials’ decisions. As the debate rages on, one thing is certain: the Bengals-Chiefs rivalry just got a whole lot more heated.
