Fans fume as Bengals star Chase Brown suffers 'pointless' injury while trying to pull off controversial tactic Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown was forced to leave their dramatic encounter with the Denver Broncos after suffering a controversial injury in the dying seconds of regular time.
However, fans were left baffled when Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow ran through for a touchdown on the very next play, before Denver took back the ball and scored a last-gasp equalizing touchdown to send the game to overtime.
With the score locked at 17-17 heading into the final 90 seconds, Brown ran towards the end zone before sliding at the one-yard line in an attempt to run down the clock, only to be injured in the process.
After shipping a heavy tackle from Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper and falling awkwardly, the Bengals star left the field and entered the blue tent before he was ruled out with a right-ankle problem.
'So if they were gonna score anyway, what was the point of Chase Brown doing that,' one fan wrote on X.
