Ja’Marr Chase had to bite his tongue after Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears.

The star wide receiver snagged six passes on a busy day for a Cincinnati Bengals offense that was led by recently-acquired veteran quarterback Joe Flacco, who threw for a career-high 470 yards with four touchdowns.

Despite those jaw-dropping numbers, Cincy were on the wrong end of an epic 47-42 scoreline, and dropped to 3-6 this season.

For all the work the Bengals are doing with the ball, even without injured franchise star Joe Burrow, they are being let down by the defense.

On Sunday, Al Golden’s unit allowed 576 yards to the Bears and are now giving up an average of 426.6 yards per game.

That means, statistically, the Bengals have the worst D in the NFL.

After Cincinnati rallied from 41-27 down with less than two minutes remaining, all they needed was one final stop. But it didn’t come.

Instead, with the Bears trailing by one, Caleb Williams connected with rookie tight end Colston Loveland on a 58-yard touchdown with 17 seconds to play.

That delivered Chicago a crazy win, and left Cincinnati to become the first team in 59 years to score 38 or more points in back-to-back contests and lose both (they were downed 39-38 by the New York Jets last week).

Chase, it seems, has had enough.

Ja’Marr Chase vents frustration after latest Bengals loss

The star wideout was visibly annoyed as he made his way off the field at Paycor Stadium, and was recorded saying: “One f***ing stop!”

Back in the locker room, he repeated that message to reporters.

When asked what was on his mind after the offense rallied into the lead, he responded: “Defense, get a stop.”

That was about all a stony-faced Chase said of the performance, as he admitted he wanted to ‘stay in his lane’ following another loss.

“I’ve never been in this situation, I don’t know how to handle it,” he added.

“I’m going to stay in my lane.

“I don’t want no defensive player to come chew me out about what the f*** I’m doing.”

Running back Chase Brown, meanwhile, was more explicit in his assessment when asked what was going through his head post-game.

“Probably the same as what was running through your head like, ‘What the f***? What the f***?'” he said.

“We know how (the defense) can play. They played really well at the start of the season.

“They did, and they were carrying us on their back. So now that we’re stepping up, I think we just got to play complementary football.

“We put the ball in the end zone and go up a point at the end, finish the f***ing game. Just end it. That’s it. That’s what we need to do. Just end the f***ing game.”

Bengals defense refuse to face media after latest horror show

While Chase and Brown took questions in the locker room, most members of the Bengals D refused to face reporters.

According to Marshall Kramsky, a sports reporter for ABC’s WCPO 9 television channel, two players even laughed and said: “Catch y’all Monday.”

Kramsky identified them as defensive end Shemar Stewart and defensive tackle T.J. Slaton.

NFL rules require all players to be available to the media after each game, but that didn’t happen on Sunday.
