Controversial Calls Spark Outrage in Bengals' Narrow Loss to Chiefs

Former Bengals star and current players criticize referees after key penalties and missed calls in 26-25 defeat.

The Bengals lost 26-25 to the Chiefs, with a game-winning drive extended by a crucial pass interference penalty.
Former Bengals receiver TJ Houshmandzadeh and current star Ja'Marr Chase criticized referees for missed calls and penalties.
Chase received a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for using abusive language towards a referee, which halted the Bengals' momentum.
Referee Alex Kemp explained that Chase's penalty was for crossing the line with personal abusive language, not just profanity.
The Bengals' loss marks their third consecutive one-possession defeat to the Chiefs, leaving them winless this season.
