description

Productive across seven seasons as a foundational piece for the Bengals’ defense, Sam Hubbard acknowledged that, despite gaudy statistics, his past as a safety left one experience somewhere along his bucket-list: a first-ever NFL interception. In taking a one-play break from his usual pass-rushing responsibilities, Hubbard positioned himself for the milestone in game No. 97 of his professional career, zone-dropping into the perfect spot before collecting a fortuitously-tipped pick. As if checking off a defensive bingo board, Hubbard’s Oct. 20, 2024 offered some of everything, as he accumulated three tackles, three QB hits, one forced fumble, one sack, and an interception, ultimately coordinating a must-have 21-14 win over the Cleveland Browns.
