Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase supports Zac Taylor’s decision to go for the win against Ravens: ‘I agree 100%’

Cincinnati Bengals coach Zac Taylor faced a mix of praise and criticism after going for two points instead of a potential game-tying extra point late in the fourth quarter of Thursday night’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s pass to Tanner Hudson fell incomplete, sealing a 35-34 victory for the Ravens.

Three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, who caught a five-yard touchdown pass from Burrow to pull the Bengals within one, was among those who voiced support for Taylor’s aggressive approach late in the game.

“Yep. I agree 100%,” the Star Wide Receiver told reporters about the coach’s decision to go for the win instead of the tie in the final seconds of the game.

Chase finished the night with 264 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

After the game, Taylor made it clear that the Bengals were going to Baltimore “to win.”

Taylor also called Chase and Burrow’s performance against the Bengals “incredible.”

“That’s a good defense. … They’ve got a lot of talent there. I thought Ja’Marr took a big step forward. And at any time we can find ways to get him the ball … I thought Joe (Burrow) That was a great job. And Ja’Marr finished a lot of those plays for us. So I thought they played very well.”
