Lip readers on social media think they’ve uncovered what NFL referee Alex Kemp told Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase before penalizing him for unsportsmanlike conduct in Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
In the fourth quarter of the Bengals-Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium, Ja’Marr Chase confronted Kemp after the refs failed to penalize Kansas City for what the star wideout thought was an illegal hip-drop tackle.
Chase was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct, costing Cincinnati field position and forcing them to settle for an Evan McPherson field goal instead of a potential touchdown that would have greatly improved the Bengals’ chances of winning:
Ja’Marr Chase gets called for an unsportsmanlike conduct here. It looks like he is complaining about a missed facemask call. The broadcast conveniently only shows the replay of Chase complaining and not the tackle… #CINvsKC pic.twitter.com/joM2DX1PIp
