Episode Details

Jordan Battle’s breakout season as a Bengals starter is fueling his drive for even bigger things — but with a defense that cratered last year and a rookie deal on the line, he’s got his work cut out. After logging just 13 starts in his first two years, he anchored the back seven for all 17 games in 2023, racking up 125 tackles and 4 interceptions while earning a middling 61.5 PFF grade. His run defense shined, but coverage left something to be desired — so he’s diving into film to fix the flaws. With new safeties Kyle Dugger and Bryan Cook joining the unit, the Bengals are rebuilding, and Battle’s performance next year could be the key to both his future and the team’s turnaround.
