The Cincinnati Bengals are going to have a tough time moving on from Sunday’s AFC Championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. But no player seemed to take the loss harder than Joseph Ossai.
Ossai was called for an unnecessary roughness penalty late in regulation when he shoved Patrick Mahomes who was already out of bounds following a scramble. The penalty set up the Chiefs’ game-winning field goal that sent Kansas City to the Super Bowl. That devastating turn of events for Cincinnati led to linebacker Germaine Pratt shouting at Ossai in the tunnel after the game.
It was such an ugly scene that even other players — like Cowboys star Micah Parsons — hated to see someone treat a teammate like that. (Warning: NSFW language)

Upon seeing the video, Parsons tweeted that it was lame of Pratt to do that.
Even if it was a huge mistake, one player or play can’t decide a game on its own. Pratt wasn’t perfect on Sunday either.
No wonder plenty of players and fans agreed with Parsons’ tweet.
