In the lead-up to the Seahawks matchup, Chase had confidently declared, “He’s going to get the opportunity to get the matchup, and we’ll see who wins the matchup.” And, CB Witherspoon’s performance was commendable, successfully defending against three passes and contributing four tackles during the game. Although Ja’Marr Chase, star wide receiver, ventured onto the Seahawks’ Instagram page and left a comment on a photo featuring the rookie CB, Witherspoon.

In his comment, Chase typed, “LOL HOLD THAT L,” a casual jab that translates to “Laugh out loud, take that loss.” Notably, NFL insider Dov Kleiman reported the incident, highlighting that the Bengals secured the victory even though Chase was unable to make any catches while being covered by Witherspoon, who concluded the game with 3 passes defended and 4 total tackles.
