- Ja’Marr Chase wants ‘more fire and anger’ from Bengals locker room
Cincinnati Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase made a point to step up as a vocal leader this season, well before Joe Burrow went down with an injury.
Now, he's turning it up a notch, to the point he's giving postgame locker room speeches.

Speaking with reporters on Thursday, Chase revealed that he told the locker room after the most recent loss that he wants to see more fire when they play.
Mike Petaglia of CLNS Media captured a chunk of Chase's comments: "I want guys to play with passion. I want them to play with anger because you never know how guys may respond. I told my guys that recently, after the game, I just want them to play a little more fire and anger."

Compared to Week 2 when Burrow got hurt, the Bengals have looked about as flat as it gets over the last two weeks, losing by a combined total of 76-13.

Whether the locker room responds to Chase and whatever head coach Zac Taylor is doing as soon as this weekend against Detroit could determine the course of the season and certain hot seats.
