>>Pratt Comments On Ossai Hit
(Cincinnati, OH) — A defensive player on the Bengals is commenting on his reaction to Joseph Ossai’s late hit on Patrick Mahomes. Germaine Pratt was seen yelling after the game, “why would you touch the quarterback?” The linebacker spoke to the media yesterday and said he was “in the moment” and wasn’t a great teammate. Pratt went on to say that moment doesn’t define him as a man. The penalty allowed the Chiefs to move up 15 yards and kick the game-winning, 45-yard field goal with three seconds left. Ossai commented on the play and said, “I gotta learn from experience. I gotta do better.” The Chiefs and Eagles kick off from Glendale for Super Bowl 57 on February 12th.

The mayor responded to Kelce’s dig on Twitter and said “yeah. [ I ] deserved that.” He then congratulated the Chiefs and wished them good luck in the Super Bowl.
