Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard is facing a challenging recovery after suffering a torn right PCL during a touchdown catch in Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans. In a recent episode of Hard Knocks, Hubbard laid out an ambitious plan for his return, which hinges on a series of favorable outcomes for the Bengals and other teams. He emphasized the need for the Colts and Dolphins to each lose at least one game, and for the Bengals to secure victories against the Denver Broncos and the Pittsburgh Steelers in the coming weeks.
Hubbard's optimistic outlook comes despite the Bengals' slim playoff chances, currently projected at just 1% according to DVOA metrics. The team must not only defeat the Broncos this Saturday but also overcome the Steelers in Week 18 to keep their postseason hopes alive. As the Bengals navigate a tumultuous season marked by injuries and close losses, Hubbard's determination to return for a potential Super Bowl appearance illustrates the resilience and ambition within the locker room.
Fans are encouraged to keep up with the Bengals through various platforms, including YouTube and social media, as the team continues to strive for a spot in the playoffs amidst a challenging season.
