Vonn Bell, Sam Hubbard Make Huge Plays to Lead Cincinnati Bengals to AFC Championship Game Win

The Cincinnati Bengals are going to the Super Bowl for the first time in 33 years, and multiple Buckeyes played a huge role in making it happen.

With less than two minutes to go in regulation, a touchdown by the Kansas City Chiefs would have given them the lead and left the Bengals with little time to score a touchdown of their own to win the AFC Championship Game. Sam Hubbard forced the Chiefs to settle for a game-tying field goal, however, with a pair of massive sacks on 2nd-and-goal and 3rd-and-goal.

The Chiefs won the coin toss to start overtime, giving them a chance to win the game with a touchdown.
