Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has been accused of throwing shade at teammate Joe Burrow following their marginal loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.
The Bengals have been treated to a season sweep by the Ravens, losing to them in yet another close game this season.
It came down to a failed two-point conversion attempt after Burrow and Chase connected for a touchdown that brought them to within one.
Chase apparently wanted to be the target for the conversion attempt, but the QB looked elsewhere and threw an incompletion, although two clear penalties went uncalled on the play.
“As a receiver you should want the ball yes, but sometimes Joe don’t see it, you know,” he told reporters in his post-game presser, leading to suggestions of shade-throwing.

Ja’Marr Chase Had A Historic Outing On Thursday
Meanwhile, Ja’Marr Chase has made NFL history as he’s become the first wide receiver to torch a certain team the way he has this season.
The last wideout to do so was the Oakland Raiders’ Art Powell, who went for 428 yards in two games against the Houston Oilers in 1963.

There was a feeling that Jason Kelce might find himself in hot water with the law after snatching and then smashing someone’s phone on Saturday.
Multiple videos surfaced on social media over the weekend showing the former Eagles center being taunted by a fan who was recording him while he made his way to Beaver Stadium for the Penn State-Ohio State matchup.
The person in question, a Penn State fan, was heard asking Kelce, “Kelce — how does it feel that your brother is a [homophobic slur] for dating Taylor Swift?” the fan asked.
Kelce would grab the kid’s phone, smash it, pick it up, and ask him, “Who’s the [homophobic slur] now?”
