Bengals' Zac Taylor 'sick' over 47-42 loss to Bears; RB Chase Brown says, 'Just end the [expletive] game'
Cincinnati Bengals coach Zac Taylor was left reeling after his team's 47-42 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The Bengals fought back from a 41-27 deficit with two late touchdowns, only for quarterback Caleb Williams to score the winning touchdown with a 58-yard pass to Colston Loveland.
Taylor expressed his disappointment and frustration at the loss, saying "I just can't believe it...The game was right there, and we just don't find a way to get it done. All we have to do is make one play." He also described the loss as "sick".
Meanwhile, Bengals running back Chase Brown was visibly agitated after the game, telling his teammates to simply "end the [expletive] game" when they had the chance.
The loss comes despite the Bengals' revamped offense under new starter Joe Flacco. Flacco had a standout performance, throwing for 470 yards and four touchdowns, but the team's defense was unable to contain the Bears' high-powered attack.
Flacco's emergence has been a key factor in the Bengals' recent success, but his team's inability to close out games like this one raises questions about their ability to win big games. As Flacco himself said, "We put the ball in the end zone and go up a point at the end, finish the [expletive] game."
The loss also takes a toll on the Bengals' already battered defense, which was unable to contain the Bears' offense for much of the game. The team's struggles in this area have been well-documented all season, but it remains to be seen if they can find a way to overcome their defensive woes and make a deep playoff run.
Injuries also remain a major concern for the Bengals, with several players now dealing with concussion issues after the game. Bears coach Matt Eberflus reported that three of his players were in concussion protocol following the game.
Overall, the loss was a tough pill for the Bengals to swallow, and they will need to regroup and refocus if they are to have any chance of making a deep playoff run.

. And on the Bengals side, Chase Brown just needed to calm down and say "game over, let's go home" instead of, you know, "end the [expletive] game". 
Either way, these teams are going to have to bring their A-game if they wanna make a deep playoff run. And can we talk about Joe Flacco's stats? 470 yards and 4 touchdowns? That dude's like a superhero 
!
they got lucky but their defense is actually pretty good too...i mean i get that zeke taylors team fought back hard, but you gotta close out those games when it matters most 
the bengals had some great performances from joe flacco and the offense but defense just can't seem to step up...injuries are a major concern for them now 
concussion protocol is no joke 
first joe flacco has this amazing game and then what happens? he just hands the ball off to chase brown like that's gonna win it for them 
but instead of executing that play, they just settle for a long touchdown pass with seconds left on the clock... what a way to lose 
. And now with all these injuries, it's like the team is being held back by itself 
. It's gonna be tough to bounce back from this loss...
... Zac Taylor gotta step up his game & teach da team how 2 finish dem! Chase Brown's outburst was legit tho 
And Flacco's performance just highlights how they're not getting any younger 
Injuries are piling up and it's like they're running out of luck 
Can't even end games when they have the chance 
. can't we just discuss the game strategy or something? like, what was going on with that 41-27 deficit in the first half? how did the bengals' defense not even come close to stopping the bears' offense? and flacco's performance was actually really good, so let's give him some credit 
. but seriously, can we focus on the game instead of just yelling at players for their emotions? it's getting old 
.
