Cincinnati Bengals star Germaine Pratt screamed at Joseph Ossai after his teammate’s error helped the Kansas City Chiefs win the AFC Championship to set up a clash with the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.
In a pulsating AFC Championship Game, Patricks Mahomes overcame adversity in his ankle injury to lead the Chiefs past the Bengals with a 23-20 win at Arrowhead Stadium. Mahomes entered the game without a win in three meetings with Bengals star Burrow, but the MVP favourite ensured he finally got one over his rival as Harrison Butker sunk the clinching field goal to win with three seconds remaining.
Late in the fourth quarter, Ossai drew an agonising penalty for a late hit on Mahomes which ultimately led to Butker’s winning kick. Ossai was understandably emotional after his error played a key part in costing the Bengals a trip to a second successive Super Bowl, and the defensive end was seen crying on the sidelines.
