Zac Taylor, La’el Collins sideline conversation goes viral

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor and right tackle La’el Collins had an interesting sideline exchange during the team’s “Sunday Night Football” clash with the Baltimore Ravens.

After a failed fourth-down attempt on an eight-plus minute drive that went more than 70 yards downfield, Taylor was seen tugging on Collins’ jersey and stopping him for a chat.

Naturally, social media caught the moment and blew it up to a major degree. The problem was, early clips of the encounter have just about zero context, so it’s hard to draw any major conclusions.

For now, barring a surprise, it’s just a standard football interaction after a key play in a professional game. Anything beyond that idea is working on assumptions and guesswork, though Taylor will certainly be asked about it soon.
