Last weekend, a picture from that encounter went viral.

However, it is very clear that this season, poor sportsmanship will not be allowed.

With 10 receptions for 129 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, Chase had an outstanding game.

Chase probably didn't want to lose more than $26,000 to NFL sanctions.
