Zac Taylor gets roasted for his 2-point conversion play call that didn't involve Ja'Marr Chase
Zac Taylor could have been roasted if he went for the tie against the Baltimore Ravens like Todd Bowles was earlier in the week, but no. The Cincinnati Bengals coach knew that his gassed defense would probably lose against that amazing Ravens offense, so he went for two after a touchdown Thursday night.
But the play call? Fans weren't pleased (never mind that there were two penalties on the Ravens that went uncalled during said play).
Ja'Marr Chase had 11 catches for 264 yards and three touchdowns on the night, but his number wasn't called. Instead, it was Tanner Hudson who was thrown to, and he couldn't grab the football for the conversion.
Fans were mad:
Only Zac Taylor draws it up for Jermaine Burton and Taylor Hudson every 4th down play when Ja’Marr Chase has 264 yards pic.twitter.com/XQAoF0ezLN
