After a tough loss, Bengals running back Chase Brown expressed his frustration about the team’s defense. In a crucial moment, they allowed Bears tight end Colston Loveland to score a 58-yard touchdown with just 17 seconds on the clock. This quick drive was tough for the Bengals, as their defense has given up an alarming 300 points and 3,839 yards this season.
Brown didn’t hold back, saying, “Finish the game. Just end it.” His comments highlight the urgency many fans feel about the team’s struggles. The Bengals are currently on track to break NFL records for the most points allowed in a season, surpassing the 534 points set by the 2024 Panthers, and the most yards allowed, overtaking the Saints’ 7,042 yards from 2012.
Coach Zac Taylor didn’t agree with Brown’s outburst, saying it wasn’t the right way to handle frustration. He pointed out that there were missed opportunities that could have changed the outcome. Taylor emphasized the importance of teamwork and learning from setbacks.
Despite these challenges, Taylor confirmed that there won’t be any changes to the defensive coaching staff, even after the Bengals allowed 86 points and 1,078 yards in consecutive losses to the Jets and Bears.
The Bengals’ defense needs improvement as fans watch closely, hoping for a turnaround. Many are looking to the upcoming games for signs of progress. As the season unfolds, the focus will be on whether the Bengals can rally together and turn their struggles into victories.
