1
00:00:00.270 --> 00:00:01.650
- Is Joseph Ossai the reason why

2
00:00:01.650 --> 00:00:04.050
the Cincinnati Bengals
aren't in the Super Bowl?

3
00:00:04.050 --> 00:00:04.950
Kinda.

4
00:00:04.950 --> 00:00:06.780
Welcome to The SEO Show.

5
00:00:06.780 --> 00:00:09.330
This week, we're discussing
the sports world's

6
00:00:09.330 --> 00:00:11.040
latest sympathy figure:

7
00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:12.420
the Bengals defensive end,

8
00:00:12.420 --> 00:00:15.030
who's late hit on Patrick
Mahomes ended Cincy's shot

9
00:00:15.030 --> 00:00:16.650
at back-to-back Super Bowls.

10
00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:17.550
Roll the tape.

11
00:00:17.550 --> 00:00:18.407
- [Commentator] Shot down.

12
00:00:18.407 --> 00:00:21.690
Here's Mahomes rolling
out on third and four.

13
00:00:21.690 --> 00:00:23.940
He's gonna go for the,
yes, he's got the marker

14
00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:26.160
and he's got the out bounds to stop it,

15
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.080
and Ossai was hurt as he hit the bench,

16
00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:31.800
and a flag's coming in to
put him 15 yards closer.

17
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.750
- Personal foul, unnecessary roughness,

18
00:00:33.750 --> 00:00:35.257
defense number 58.

19
00:00:35.257 --> 00:00:36.450
- [Commentator] And that 15.

20
00:00:36.450 --> 00:00:38.790
- Well, that play basically ended the game

21
00:00:38.790 --> 00:00:40.950
as Kansas City kicked
a field goal to win it.

22
00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:44.010
When people say the game is 90% mental,

23
00:00:44.010 --> 00:00:45.270
this is what they mean,

24
00:00:45.270 --> 00:00:48.540
as Ossai made a dumb play at
the most inopportune time.

25
00:00:48.540 --> 00:00:50.730
This is what his coach had to say.

26
00:00:50.730 --> 00:00:54.000
- Joseph's, Joseph's, comes
to work every day, man.

27
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:55.380
He loves ball.

28
00:00:55.380 --> 00:00:56.640
He loves being a part of this team

29
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:58.440
and it didn't come down to that play.

30
00:00:58.440 --> 00:00:59.490
- [Carron] Here's how his teammate,

31
00:00:59.490 --> 00:01:01.908
Germaine Pratt, really felt.

32
00:01:01.908 --> 00:01:02.741
- Yo, dog.

33
00:01:02.741 --> 00:01:04.410
Why the fuck did you
tackle the quarterback?

34
00:01:04.410 --> 00:01:06.060
- [Carron] This was the
scene in the locker room.

35
00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:07.440
- [Interviewer] How hard
is that to kind of maybe,

36
00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:08.790
kind of not put all that weight on you

37
00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:09.623
as you go through this?

38
00:01:09.623 --> 00:01:10.616
I mean, it's just.

39
00:01:10.616 --> 00:01:12.091
- It's extremely hard, man.

40
00:01:12.091 --> 00:01:13.020
- What?

41
00:01:13.020 --> 00:01:13.920
Come on, man.

42
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:14.753
- [Interviewer] I'm sure it's tough.

43
00:01:14.753 --> 00:01:15.600
Just wanna ask about it.

44
00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:16.700
- That's a brilliant question, bro.

45
00:01:16.700 --> 00:01:19.320
- By the way, Germaine Pratt apologized

46
00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:21.517
once the video from the tunnel went viral.

47
00:01:21.517 --> 00:01:22.777
"I was emotional.

48
00:01:22.777 --> 00:01:25.417
"I was in the moment," Pratt
said a day after the game.

49
00:01:25.417 --> 00:01:26.707
"I will say I was wrong.

50
00:01:26.707 --> 00:01:29.217
"As a man, you can look at
yourself in the mirror and say,

51
00:01:29.217 --> 00:01:30.277
"'I was wrong.'

52
00:01:30.277 --> 00:01:32.430
"I wasn't a great
teammate in that moment."

53
00:01:32.430 --> 00:01:34.500
I personally don't think anybody is wrong

54
00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:36.000
for being pissed at Ossai.

55
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.040
Let's face it, the dude messed up.

56
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:39.210
You can feel for him

57
00:01:39.210 --> 00:01:41.520
while also understanding
that he made a really dumb

58
00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:44.430
and unnecessary play in the
biggest game of the season.

59
00:01:44.430 --> 00:01:46.710
Failure is a teacher and
taking the sting away

60
00:01:46.710 --> 00:01:48.690
weakens the lesson Ossai is learning.

61
00:01:48.690 --> 00:01:50.280
Trust me, I know.

62
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:51.630
I went through a similar experience

63
00:01:51.630 --> 00:01:53.790
with my favorite team in 2006.

64
00:01:53.790 --> 00:01:55.723
There's a reason I'm wearing this hoodie.

65
00:01:55.723 --> 00:01:57.990
(Carron exhales)

66
00:01:57.990 --> 00:01:59.040
Roll the tape.

67
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.350
- [Commentator] Dances free now.

68
00:02:01.350 --> 00:02:03.331
He'll throw, incomplete.

69
00:02:03.331 --> 00:02:05.580
(crowd cheering)

70
00:02:05.580 --> 00:02:07.023
And a penalty flag.

71
00:02:08.070 --> 00:02:09.663
Michigan will debate this.

72
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:15.303
Crable over on the near side.

73
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:20.460
Smith was going out of bounds.

74
00:02:20.460 --> 00:02:23.280
Personal foul, a huge call.

75
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.380
- As you saw, Michigan's Shawn Crable

76
00:02:25.380 --> 00:02:27.540
ruined the Wolverine
season against Ohio State

77
00:02:27.540 --> 00:02:30.450
on the road 17 years ago
when he derailed our shot

78
00:02:30.450 --> 00:02:31.650
at a national title

79
00:02:31.650 --> 00:02:33.900
with a late hit on quarterback Troy Smith.

80
00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:35.760
As you can tell by my face,

81
00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:37.680
I just got over it a few years ago,

82
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.300
which means, in time,
Bengal fans, you will too.

83
00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:43.620
My name is Carron Phillips

84
00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:45.510
and thanks for watching The SEO Show.

85
00:02:45.510 --> 00:02:47.820
Here's to delayed forgiveness

86
00:02:47.820 --> 00:02:49.332
because we're all works in progress.

87
00:02:49.332 --> 00:02:51.999
(upbeat music)
