Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton didn't sugarcoat the way his team's defense has played amid a 1-4 start to the season.
"I know we've been playing like s--- for real, honestly," Hilton said, per ESPN's Ben Baby. "And we know we have to turn around for us to have a chance to make this run, but that's the thing about this game. You all have another opportunity to go out there and prove yourself."
According to Baby, the Bengals held a players-only defensive meeting for the first time since last season and Hilton spoke to the group for about five to 10 minutes.
