The Cincinnati Bengals are still in the playoff hunt in a season in which it feels like nothing at all can go right. The Bengals’ 37-27 win over the Tennesee Titans improved the Bengals to 6-8 to keep the team’s hopes alive.
However, the game was not without its low points for Cincinnati. At one point, star quarterback Joe Burrow was spotted on the sidelines having an NSFW exchange with head coach Zac Taylor. The clip of Burrow’s frustration is making the rounds on social media.

Fans reacted to the exchange on social media.
“Zac Taylor is embarrassing,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“Right before the guy in the black hoodie passes, you can see him say ‘we sucked today,’” one fan noticed and pointed out.
“This whole, ‘respect the other team by not running up the score’ really puts teams at risk to lose. Unless their entire second string subs in, they should be looking to score at all times,” one fan added.
“Just let Burrow coach the team, he did in 2019 and it worked out,” another fan added.
It’ll be interesting to see if the Bengals can win out and get enough help from the teams ahead of them in the standings to make the playoffs.
