Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown was upset with the team’s loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday and called out his team’s defense for failing to make a stop at the end of the game.

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams fired a bullet to tight end Colston Loveland, who bounced off two defenders to score what would be the game-winning touchdown. Chicago won the game, 47-42.

Chicago’s go-ahead touchdown came after Cincinnati fought back from a 41-27 deficit. They scored a touchdown and recovered an onside kick. Joe Flacco found Andrei Iosivas for a nine-yard touchdown pass to go up 42-41.

The Bengals’ defense couldn’t make a stop, and it led to Brown’s outburst to reporters.

"They played really well at the start of the season, they were carrying us on their back. So now that we’re stepping up, we just got to play complementary football," he said when he asked what he was thinking when he watched the Bears’ go-ahead drive, via Sports Illustrated.

"We put the ball in the end zone and go up a point at the end, finish the f---ing game. Like, just end it. That’s what we need to do. Just end the f---ing game. Get us the ball back. Let us f---ing go to 22 victory, and let’s end the game. That’s how I feel."

Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase lamented his defense’s efforts as he walked back to the locker room in the game’s immediate aftermath.
