‘Contain The Checkdowns’: Jordan Battle Explains How Bengals’ Defense Needs To Adjust Against Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers won in an unlikely shootout just a month ago when they faced the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. The Steelers have struggled to score much more than 20 points per game all season, but they broke out on that day with 37 points on offense in their 44-38 win. The Bengals have had one of the weaker defenses in the league all season, but they’ve improved a bit over the final month with four-consecutive wins following their loss to the Steelers.

Bengals S Jordan Battle spoke with the Cincinnati media today and explained what the Bengals need to do differently on defense to prevent another disappointing loss despite a 30-plus point effort from Joe Burrow and the offense.
