The Cincinnati Bengals defeated their longtime rivals, the Baltimore Ravens, on Sunday night in the Wild Card Round of the NFL playoffs. Defensive lineman Sam Hubbard made a defensive fumble return for a touchdown that you might have heard about.
Following the stinging loss, however, star Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins, who played collegiately with the Ohio State Buckeyes, took aim at the coaching staff’s decision to throw the ball. He also sent a clear message to injured Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
J.K. Dobbins said he’s tired of not getting the ball, tired of being held back. Said Huntley should have never been in that position on sneak. And then he added, “If we would’ve had Lamar, we would’ve won, too.”

The NFL world was quick to react to the shocking statements:
