For the third consecutive year, and the 8th time in 10 years, the Colorado Buffaloes will have alumni competing for a Super Bowl ring. Members of the vaunted 2016 Buffs, Chidobe Awuzie and Josh Tupou helped the Cincinnati Bengals to an AFC Championship victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Any defense that gets the best of Patrick Mahomes should be celebrated, and with all due respect to standout safety Jessie Bates, Awuzie may be the star of Cincy’s defensive backfield. Signed as a free agent from the Dallas Cowboys, Chido spent the afternoon covering perennial All-Pro receiver Tyreek Hill.
