Sunday’s AFC Championship Game was quite the ride for Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Eli Apple.
The Chiefs made a point to pick on Apple for much of the first half, which included forcing him into a pass interference penalty in the end zone. But moments later, Apple made the game-turning play when he stopped the Chiefs’ Tyreek Hill short of the end zone as time expired in the first half. The Bengals rode that momentum into 21-unanswered points and a trip to the Super Bowl.
So, yeah, Apple probably earned the right to talk some trash.
