Sam Hubbard of the Cincinnati Bengals recently returned a fumble for 98 yards and a touchdown, marking a new record for the longest in NFL postseason history. Hubbard was able to make the best of Bengals linebacker, Logan Wilson poking the ball away from Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley near the goal line.
During the play Hubbard traveled 123.6 yards and it was the longest distance traveled by a ball carrier on a touchdown during the 2022-2023 season. He also was able to reach a top speed of 17.43 MPH and Ravens tight end Mark Andrews, hit over 20 MPH in attempting to catch him.
On the team’s website Hubbard stated, “I was watching on the big screen. I was like, ‘He’s coming, somebody block him, please don’t get caught.’ That’s all I was thinking about.” Overall, Hubbard had four tackles and a quarterback hit on the night. After their win, Cincinnati looks to take on the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round.
