Ja’Marr Chase<\/a>\u00a0was heated over a tackle the\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0emphasized at the owners meetings this offseason, one that hasn’t been enforced during a game in the first two weeks of the year.<\/p>\n The NFL banned the hip-drop tackle this offseason, a tackle which the league defines as a tackler grabbing a runner with both hands and\/or arms while attempting to make a tackle. The tackler than “unweights” himself by swiveling and dropping his hips and\/or lower body, landing on and trapping the runner’s legs.<\/p>\n That type of tackle, when called by officials, will result in a 15-yard penalty and an automatic first down. Players have been fined for the tackle, but a penalty hasn’t been constituted on the field. Chase wanted to make that point known when he was arguing with the refs after\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0cornerback\u00a0Trent McDuffie<\/a>\u00a0brought him down early in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss.<\/p>\n The officials did throw a flag — on Chase — for what transpired after the play. Official Alex Kemp said in the Chiefs-Bengals pool report that the flag was thrown on Chase for language toward the official. Chase also revealed to USA Today that\u00a0he vented his frustrations over<\/a>\u00a0what be believed was a hip-drop tackle.<\/p>\n Interesting. Here is a look at the tackle that got Ja’Marr Chase so upset. He thought it should have been flagged for a hip drop tackle. #CINvsKC<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/IUprfGsg1g<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Rate the Refs App (@Rate_the_Refs) September 15, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
