Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown was upset about the team’s loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday and criticized his team’s defense for not making a stop late in the game.
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams fired a bullet at tight end Colston Loveland, who bounced off two defenders to score what would be the game-winning touchdown. Chicago won the game, 47-42.

Chicago’s go-ahead touchdown came after Cincinnati rallied from a 41-27 deficit. They scored a touchdown and recovered an onside kick. Joe Flacco found Andrei Iosivas for a nine-yard touchdown pass to go up 42-41.
The Bengals defense couldn’t stop him and that led to Brown’s outburst to reporters.
“They played really well at the beginning of the season, they carried us on their backs. So now that we’re taking a step forward, we just have to play complementary football,” he said when asked what he was thinking when he watched the Bears advance, via Sports Illustrated.
“We put the ball in the end zone and we go up a point at the end, we finish the damn game. I mean, just finish it. That’s what we have to do. Just finish the damn game. Give us the ball back. Let’s go to the damn 22nd win and finish the game. That’s how I feel.”
Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase lamented his defense’s efforts as he walked back to the locker room immediately after the game.

“A damn stop,” he was heard saying.
But he didn’t say more when he spoke to reporters in the locker room.
“I’m just trying to stay positive,” Chase said. “I’m going to stay in my lane. I don’t want any defensive players coming to tell me what I’m doing.”

Flacco took the veteran route during his media availability.
“It’s one team,” Flacco said. “You need to focus on yourself and do your job. I get it, it can be emotional. I go to those guys and have good conversations about going to work and being proud of what you do. If you do that, you don’t have time to get mad at people you shouldn’t be mad at. You can’t worry about anyone else.”
Most members of the defense left the building without speaking to reporters.
Bengals defensive end Shemar Stewart and defensive tackle TJ Slaton said, “See you Monday,” and laughed, according to WCPO-TV.
Linebacker Barrett Carter was one of the few who said the team needed to stop the run.

“If you can’t stop the streak in this league, you’re not going to win,” he said. “We’re going to figure it out internally. We have to depend on each other and trust each other. There’s no need to point fingers.”
