NFL Referees Association issues statement on Ja’Marr Chase unsportsmanlike conduct penalty

In the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after sharing words with an official. Monday afternoon, Scott Green – executive director of the NFL Referees Association – weighed in.

Chase was unhappy with referee Alex Kemp after not getting a flag on a play with 10:27 to go. He made his thoughts clear, and Kemp assessed a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. The drive ended with a Bengals field goal.
