Hendrickson has always and will continue to play with passion
The Cincinnati Bengals lost their seventh game of the season Sunday, dropping a primetime clash with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Bengals dug themselves a massive 24-6 halftime hole and couldn’t overcome that deficit.
Most people either saw or read about one play following the game: Trey Hendrickson’s outburst after running into Zac Taylor, who was aiming not to pick up a flag for the defensive lineman’s actions.
Hendrickson, with a couple days having past, spoke on the incident.
“You play with an edge. “Everybody should. I love Zac. He’s a great head coach. He’s done a lot for me as a person. I love him. He plays with the same intensity and fire as me,” Hendrickson said via Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic.
To be fair to the Bengals’ star, the roughing-the-passer flag that he was called for was one that almost anyone watching the game, including the broadcasters, would disagree with, and it was one that had a sizable impact as well.
Hendrickson ended the game with three tackles and 0.5 sacks.
Having 11.5 on the season, he has been the only Bengals player to consistently get pressure on the opposing team’s quarterback, and he’s done it at an outstanding level this season.
