Looking back on the play that changed Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard’s career
Portrait of Charlie GoldsmithCharlie Goldsmith
Cincinnati Enquirer

In Week 16 of the Cincinnati Bengals disappointing 2020 season, defensive end Sam Hubbard clinched the win against the Houston Texans in the last two minutes with a strip sack that forced a fumble.

At the start of the season, Hubbard was viewed as the fourth-best defensive lineman on the Bengals. He was overshadowed by veterans like Carlos Dunlap and Geno Atkins.

But by Week 16, Dunlap had been traded and Atkins was out for the season. Following that play, Hubbard said there was a turning point in the way he viewed his role on the team.

“It just happened naturally, earning credibility and trust from my teammates,” Hubbard said last week as he enters his fifth year with the Bengals. “It’s taken me a while to feel comfortable being able to speak to the team or say something to a big group of people. Each year, I try to help other guys become a bit more comfortable by bringing them along with me. It’s something I like to challenge myself with.”

Last week, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor was asked if leadership was a natural quality or something a player could develop. In his answer, his mind went right to Hubbard’s development.

Taylor remembered how Hubbard used to be a “feisty” bench player who always worked hard and set an example with his consistency on special teams. Now, Hubbard is a captain, arguably the best run stopping defensive end in the NFL and the backbone of a Bengals’ defensive line that’s completely changed around him over the last three seasons.

“I’m not afraid to say this, Sam Hubbard, earlier in his career, when we had a lot of veteran players, he didn’t speak a lot because there were so many veterans ahead of him,” Taylor said. “But when he talked, everyone listened. Over the years as he has become the veteran, he’s a full blown leader and he talks when he needs to.”

The Bengals tied the game in the fourth quarter, but eventually fell to the 49ers in overtime, 26-23.

  2. I really want to know who exactly is rated lower as a defensive end than Sam
    Hubbard this year…Sam Hubbard being on this roster next season is a fantastic way to judge how serious we should take the Bengals next season. This man has been done for a few years now and we have him playing 75% of our current snaps. The amount of playing time this guy gets is a slap in the face to Bengals fans. So we’re just going to ignore how awful Sam Hubbard, Alex Cappa, Cordell Volson, and Geno Stone are right? I wonder if coaches think after they get fired..”I know he was a veteran but yeah I probably should have played the more talented player, not the guy the front office wanted me to play because he was signed for 4 more years.”

  4. Sam was one of those hard work guys, with not a ton of athletic ability. The injuries ha e sapped what he had left. He's gotta be cut. I focused on him for the last few weeks when he was out there on D and he wasn't able to do anything, his blocker just moved him around with ease
