description

For even the meanest, toughest, most physical defenders across the NFL, the task of tackling the running back affectionately known as “The King” has proven to be as unenviable and unrewarding as nearly anything on that side of the ball. Embracing the hefty challenge with a potential two-point reward if he worked quickly enough, Sam Hubbard — utilized all across the Cincinnati Bengals’ defensive gameplan — hustled into Baltimore’s backfield, chopping the 6-foot-4 tailback down for a safety. Hubbard’s herculean play helped swing momentum, with Cincinnati scoring 15 consecutive points thereafter. The Ravens would ultimately prevail in a 41-38 OT thriller on Oct. 6, 2024, though Hubbard was multifaceted throughout, recording nine tackles, two QB hits, one sack, and one safety.
