Bengals star WR Ja’Marr Chase was not too thrilled after the loss to the Titans, saying: “I’m open. I’m always f—– open.”
The Bengals now sit at 1-3 for the season following a 27-3 tumble against the Titans.
Chase’s post-game frustration was pretty evident, and he didn’t hold back when talking to the media in the locker room.

Chase snagged 7 passes for 73 yards in the game but didn’t find the end zone.
Prior to this game, his season stats boasted 22 catches for 211 yards and a scoreless record in three appearances. It’s not too shabby, actually, but it seems Chase believes he can do better.
For the Bengals overall, it’s been a bumpy ride this season. QB Joe Burrow has been battling a calf injury and hasn’t been operating at full throttle.
Heading into Week 4, he had only managed 4.7 yards per attempt, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions – which is a far cry from his usual elite performance.
So, what’s next for the Bengals after Chase’s candid comments? We’ll have to wait and see.
