“I gotta learn from experience.' Bengals DE Joseph Ossai details late hit on Patrick Mahomes
On third-and-4 at Cincinnati’s 47-yard line with less than 20 seconds to go in the game, Kansas City quarterback scrambled to his right to gain five yards and a first down. After Mahomes jogged out of bounds, Ossai shoved him from behind and was called for unnecessary roughness. The 15-yard penalty set up the winning 45-yard field goal by Harrison Butker, and Ossai subsequently was caught by television cameras crying on the sidelines.
Ossai also explained that the reason he made contact with Mahomes was because he was trying to force the QB backward out of bounds. The clock only stops when a player with the ball runs forward out of bounds. If Ossai were to get Mahomes to go backward, the clock would have kept running. “I was just in full chase mode,” Ossai said. “I was trying to push him, maybe get him going backwards because I knew he was going for that sideline. I was trying to make him go backwards, get that clock running. I haven’t seen it yet. I didn’t know how far out of bounds we were.”
