EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. –– On a play in the middle of the second quarter on Sunday, Cincinnati Bengals rookie safety Dax Hill got cornerback Delonte Hood’s attention.
Hill saw the New York Giants’ setup behind the line of scrimmage and relayed it to Hood. Then Hill blitzed on the play and created pressure in the backfield.
In a preseason where the Bengals have hardly played their starters, moments like that one from Hill have made the Bengals’ coaching staff even more confident in the team’s defense entering the regular season.
On Sunday at MetLife Stadium, the Giants beat the Bengals 25-22.
