CINCINNATI -- Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton didn't mince his words when speaking about the state of the team's defense.

Through five games, the unit ranks near the bottom of the league in several key categories after Cincinnati allowed 41 points in last week's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The defense held a players-only meeting Wednesday morning during which Hilton addressed the group for about five to 10 minutes.

Speaking to reporters after Wednesday's practice, Hilton was blunt when asked about any frustration from the fan base amid the team's 1-4 start.
