Zac Taylor made his way through the Bengals locker room, hugging each player he saw, and when he got to Joseph Ossai, he stopped. Words were both necessary and insufficient. Both men knew it. What was done was done, and what the defensive end had done waswith the AFC championship game tied and otherwise likely headed to overtime.
Ossai tried to talk to the media when he got to his locker, but he clearly wasn’t ready. He showered and came back in a fog. He put on his shirt without drying his back. Teammate B.J. Hill repeatedly announced that there would be “no dumb questions”—he must have said it a half-dozen times—and indicated he would cut the whole group interview off if he didn’t like what we asked. But Ossai was determined to talk. It was the way to end an honest day’s work.
“I was just in full-chase mode,” Ossai said. “I was trying to push him, to maybe get him going backwards. I knew he was going for that sideline. I was trying to make him go backwards, get that clock running.” “He practices how he plays,” Hill said. “I got no feelings about that play at all, because I know his intention is to play hard.”
Rosenberg_Mike “I’ve got to know not to get close to that quarterback when he is close to that sideline.' He chased him out of bounds! Piss off with this sanctimonious nonsense: 'He’ll have an MRI on Monday, if you care, and it would be nice if you did.' What about the staffer who got crushed?
ByPatForde Rosenberg_Mike He barely touched him. Mahomes sold it well. Granted, Ossai should never have put a hand on him because refs are always going to call that, esp with a QB. But, was not a shove. Watch the replay. And, I couldn't care less who won, so not sour grapes.
ByPatForde Rosenberg_Mike They wouldn’t have been tied at that point had it not been for Ossai’s prior plays. He clearly was the Bengals’ best player on D until then.
Rosenberg_Mike Why is no one calling out the ABYSMAL performance of Adeniji and Scharping ?! bengals All sacks went through them! It wasn't Ossai who lost this game!
Rosenberg_Mike They know that extra 15 yards allowed a winning field goal…
Rosenberg_Mike Or 4 feet past…
