I also couldn't figure out what Chase was trying to demonstrate when he was earning his taunting penalty. But it's the kind of disrespectful thing that viewers remember. And I wish I could forget Chase's giving the middle figure to a DB who he let get under his skin. I know he's young, and only his second year in the league, but those things don't help his marketability. And neither taunting penalties that I've seen from him were at opportune times.

The rest of the team, including Burrow and Taylor, give off a good image when the camera shows them on the sidelines. I personally cannot stand those coaches who blow up on the sidelines numerous times during a game.

I did however like Taylor screaming at Chase for his dumb gesture causing penalty.

Chase is one hell of a player but is still very young and needs to mature professionally in this area.
