Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has addressed his visible frustration during last week's win over the Tennessee Titans, saying that he's had a conversation with head coach Zac Taylor about it.
Chase appeared visibly upset on the sideline during Cincinnati's 43-36 overtime victory Sunday, Nov. 1, with some of his vexation seemingly directed toward Taylor.
But the star receiver offered a reassuring update Friday, Nov. 6, before the Bengals' Week 9 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid.
"I want the best for everyone around me," Chase said, per FOX19's Jeremy Rauch. "Zac can vouch for me. We already had a talk."

Chase's emotional fourth-quarter reaction against Tennessee raised thoughts about his relationship with the coaching staff.
Following the victory, Chase responded bluntly when questioned about Cincinnati's recurring slow starts.
"Ask Zac," Chase told reporters when asked about the issue.
Taylor then downplayed the sideline incident after the game, pointing to the emotions involved in a tightly contested matchup.
Despite his annoyance, Chase spoke volumes with his play against the Titans, recording 11 receptions for 141 yards and a touchdown.
Cincinnati waltzes into Sunday's matchup against Atlanta with a 5-2 record, seeking its fourth consecutive victory.
