One of the tricks of the NFL is playing exactly hard enough and no harder. Chase guys from sideline to sideline, but not an inch past. Rosenberg_Mike on the Bengals teammates who had Joseph Ossai’s back
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.”
