Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton addressed the team's struggling defense after a players-only meeting. The Bengals defense ranks near the bottom of the league in several key metrics, allowing 41 points in their recent loss to the Ravens. Hilton emphasized the need for the defense to improve, especially with a strong offense led by quarterback Joe Burrow. The team is currently 1-4 and is looking to turn things around in their upcoming game against the New York Giants.
- The Bengals defense is struggling, ranking 31st in defensive success rate and 30th in points allowed per drive.
- Players-only meetings are rare but necessary for the Bengals to address their issues.
- Joe Burrow and the offense are performing well, but the defense needs to step up for the team to succeed.
