NFL, players association launch review after Bengals’ Chase Brown appears to get doused by fan’s drink
Chase Brown scored his first career NFL touchdown during the win over the Panthers
A productive day from second-year running back Chase Brown helped the Cincinnati Bengals secure their first win of the season.
Brown scored two touchdowns during the 34-24 win over the Panthers in Charlotte. But, Brown’s joyful trot to the locker room was unpleasantly interrupted when a fan appeared to pour a drink on the running back.
The incident has prompted a review from the NFL and the players’ association. NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy confirmed to ESPN that the league was looking into the incident in question.
Bengals offensive lineman Ted Karras, who is the Bengals NFLPA representative, said a video review would allow for additional information to be gathered.
Michael Thomas, a player director with the NFLPA, said they will attempt to I.D. the individual involved in the incident.

“We’ll see if we can identify the person and then we’ll go from there,” Thomas told ESPN. “But that should never happen to a player.”
