Bengals' Jordan Battle discusses Malik Willis' passing tell ahead of Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals safety Jordan Battle revealed a notable quirk in Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis' mechanics leading up to their Week 5 matchup. Battle pointed out that Willis tends to tap the ball before his throws, which could provide the Bengals defense a cue to react. Cincinnati hopes to use this information to improve their pass defense, having struggled early in the season with metrics placing them near the bottom of the league. As the matchup approaches, the Bengals' defense is preparing for Willis' mobility and ability to extend plays, which pose additional challenges despite his lower passing numbers.
