Bengals’ Pratt regrets cursing at teammate over Mahomes penalty in playoff loss

• Crucial penalty led to Chiefs' game winning field-goal
• Linebacker shows contrition for criticism of teammate

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt regrets his criticism of teammate Joseph Ossai after the AFC title game loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night.

Ossai was called for unnecessary roughness after he shoved Patrick Mahomes as the quarterback ran out of bounds in the final seconds of the game. The penalty meant that Harrison Butker's field-goal attempt was from 45 yards rather than 60. Butker duly converted the kick, giving the Chiefs a 23-20 victory and a place in the Super Bowl.
