The NFL fined Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase on Saturday afternoon $31,599 for unsportsmanlike conduct, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. He screamed abusive language at referee Alex Kemp, who flagged him on the play. He did not mention the specific words used by Chase in the official pool report he submitted to reporters after the game. Chase was arguing for a flag on a hip-drop tackle by Trent McDuffie, who wasn’t flagged or fined on the play.
