Germaine Pratt had sideline meltdown as Chargers stomped Bengals’ defense

Things got bad on the Bengals sideline on SNF.

The Cincinnati Bengals defense got rolled by the Los Angeles Chargers in the first half on Sunday night, going down 21-6 early.

After what appeared to be several blown coverages, Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt erupted on the sidelines while the defense searched for answers.

The NBC broadcast shared the footage while explaining that Pratt was yelling things like “‘I’m tired of this, let’s go,” while coordinator Lou Anarumo and big names like Trey Hendrickson tried to defuse the situation.

The broadcast noted that Pratt leveled some of his outburst at cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt, telling him to “wake up.” Rookie Josh Newton replaced CTB on a subsequent series in the starting lineup.

Based on how the Chargers kept moving the ball, Pratt’s outburst didn’t do much. But it’s good to see some fight from what has been one of the league’s worst defenses.
