Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase had a pretty brutal quote about the team’s recent defensive woes on Monday in the wake of yet another loss.
The Bengals fell 44-38 to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, the latest in a series of bad defensive performances. Cincinnati has not given up fewer than 24 points since Week 7, and not coincidentally, the team is just 1-4 over that span.
Chase was asked Monday if the defensive woes have left the offense feeling like they have to score on every drive now to give the team a chance. His answer was brutally honest.
“That’s kind of our expectation now,” Chase said. “Gotta find a way. They need to find a way. We gotta find a way.”
