Bengals' Sam Hubbard returns fumble 98 yards for TD in massive turnaround

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports | By Larry Brown | Last updated 1/15/23

The Cincinnati Bengals’ AFC Wild Card Playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens turned on a massive play at the goal line.

The Ravens had the ball at the Cincinnati one-yard line in a 17-17 game and had a third-and-goal.

The Ravens had quarterback Tyler Huntley take the snap and try to jump over the line and reach the ball into the end zone for a touchdown.

Instead, Logan Wilson stuffed Huntley, and Germaine Pratt knocked the ball loose for a fumble.

Sam Hubbard scooped up the ball and ran it back 98 yards for a touchdown to turn the game and give the Bengals a 24-17 lead.

That was a massive play and the longest fumble return in postseason history.

What a play by Wilson and Pratt to stuff Hundley and knock the ball loose, and what a great job by Hubbard to pick up the ball and return it for a touchdown.

Just when it looked like the Ravens would take the lead, the Bengals’ defense came up with the play of the game.
