NFL Fans Leave Brutal Comments For Joseph Ossai After Penalty Costs Bengals AFC Championship

NFL fans aren’t cutting Joseph Ossai any slack

NFL fans are leaving harsh comments for a Cincinnati Bengals defensive end who made a crucial mistake Sunday. On the Kansas City Chiefs’ final drive, Joseph Ossai tackled an already injured quarterback Patrick Mahomes out of bounds. The Bengals were flagged for a late hit. The penalty put the Chiefs, who were on the cusp of a field goal, well within range.

Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker drilled a 45-yard field goal on the next play to send Kansas City to the Super Bowl with a 23-20 win. Cameras showed the second-year defender visibly shaken on the sideline after the game.

It was a bad mistake by Ossai, who had been playing well until the game-changing penalty. The hit was unnecessary at that point in the game. Because of Mahomes’ injury, Mahomes was no threat to try and gain extra yards Sunday, he was just trying to get out of bounds.

Fans react on Twitter

After the game, NFL fans took to social media to roast Ossai for the late hit. Some Bengals fans were over the top with anger. Others just had humorous takes. Here are the best takes of Ossai’s late-game penalty costing the Bengals.

Ossai literally pushed the Chiefs to victory. That boy needs to be cut, and put into the USFL.

I feel so, so bad for Ossai. Yes, it was a late hit and had to be called, but he’s gonna feel that guilt forever – and the whole game isn’t on him. He played well. Big chiefs fan, but gutted for @joseph_ossai

I kind of feel bad for Ossai and then I remember he makes 100 times a year than me, so I can't really feel bad for him messing up a job related duty. He wouldnt care if I messed up a presentation
