Looking back on the play that changed Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard's career

In Week 16 of the Cincinnati Bengals disappointing 2020 season, defensive end Sam Hubbard clinched the win against the Houston Texans in the last two minutes with a strip sack that forced a fumble.

At the start of the season, Hubbard was viewed as the fourth-best defensive lineman on the Bengals. He was overshadowed by veterans like Carlos Dunlap and Geno Atkins.

But by Week 16, Dunlap had been traded and Atkins was out for the season. Following that play, Hubbard said there was a turning point in the way he viewed his role on the team.
