A celebratory flight home turned scary for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Following their win over the New England Patriots on Saturday, the Bengals' team plane had to make an emergency landing at JFK International Airport after an engine failed, according to multiple reports.

The team was switching planes at around 9 p.m. at the New York airport.

One person on board told WLWT, an NBC affiliate in Cincinnati, that it was "a little rough but it was okay" and they "landed safely" in Queens.
