A close game late in the third quarter turned into a blowout after the Cincinnati Bengals went for it on fourth and 1 at their own 39 and Joe Burrow's pass to Ja'Marr Chase resulted in a 2-yard loss.
– There usually isn’t a pivotal point to circle in a 20-point loss where the defense allows the opponent to score on seven of its eight possession.
But the play clock went under 10 seconds and the offense was still in the huddle, forcing head coach Zac Taylor to burn a timeout. The Bengals put Ja’Marr Chase in motion from left to right, quarterback Joe Burrow threw him a screen behind the line of scrimmage and the Philadelphia defense swallowed Chase for a 2-yard loss.“The play didn’t work, and that’s 100 percent on me,” he said.“Just one call I wish we could've took back and changed to something else," he said. “But we called it, and it happened.”
Philadelphia rookie slot corner Cooper DeJean dropped Chase for a 2-yard loss, and even if he had missed, safety C.J. Gardner was there.The Bengals defense held the Eagles to a field goal, but the 10-point deficit put the Bengals in an even more aggressive, risk-taking mode.
