Overview

• ESPN cameras captured the player–coach interaction during Monday night’s 28-3 loss in Denver.
• In a Thursday press conference, Chase said such moments with Taylor are routine and that reactions to them are exaggerated.
• Chase acknowledged the discussion was partly about wanting more targets and noted receivers depend on others to get the ball.
• He logged eight targets for five catches and 23 yards in the defeat as Cincinnati failed to score a touchdown.
• Since Joe Burrow’s toe surgery, the Bengals have been outscored 76-13 over the last two games with Jake Browning starting, and Zac Taylor said he has unwavering confidence in Browning while Chase has taken on more of a leadership role.
