There are probably a whole bunch of Bengals fans out there who are feeling like Ja’Marr Chase this week.
No, no. I don’t mean they’re All-Pro wide receivers. Of course not. I mean they probably hate Minkah Fitzpatrick right now. Mostly because he absolutely dominated one of the wackiest games you’ll ever see between the Steelers and Bengals, but also just because he’s him and he plays for Pittsburgh.
Chase aimed a…well…let’s call it a “gesture” at him that certainly wasn’t the nicest thing in the world. Cameras caught it and now the world is seeing it.
Cover your kid’s eyes, y’all. It’s getting real PG-13 out here.

First off, this would make an amazing album cover. Somebody needs to do it. Looking at you, Griselda. If you know, you know.
Second, we should’ve known this would be the vibes off of the black Air Force 1s Mike Tomlin gave to his team. This is that energy.
Let’s be honest. Who can blame Chase here? Fitzpatrick took his quarterback’s first pass of the year to the house after he returned a touchdown for an interception. He also blocked the potential game-winning field goal for the Bengals, which is why he’s the AFC’s Defensive Player of the Week.
And he played for Bama, too? Yeah, Ja’Marr Chase definitely ain’t rocking with this dude.
NFL fans loved this energy though. It’s incredibly spicy. We need more.

Chad Johnson explained perfectly what this photo means.
This a great photo that represents the rivalry, reminiscent of the time i beat up James Harrison & Joey Porter on separate occasions despite my love for them both 🫶🏽 https://t.co/aSNWbaArdp
