KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Bengals star receiver Ja'Marr Chase was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct in the fourth quarter of Cincinnati's 26-25 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday following an interaction that officials said crossed the line.

Referee Alex Kemp, who threw the flag, said in a pool report after the game that Chase believed he was taken down by Kansas City cornerback Trent McDuffie with a hip-drop tackle, a controversial maneuver that was banned this offseason because of the injury risk the play presents.
