Bengals' Joseph Ossai laments penalty that led to Chiefs' win

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Cincinnati Bengals players and coaches gave defensive end Joseph Ossai words of solace and comfort following a penalty that led to the Kansas City Chiefs' game-winning field goal in the AFC Championship Game.

But in the moments after Sunday's 23-20 loss, Ossai said it was extremely tough to process the sentiment. With reddened eyes and a soft tone, Ossai lamented his penalty in the closing seconds that put Kansas City in position for Harrison Butker's 45-yard field goal on the penultimate play from scrimmage.
