Bengals prepare defensive strategies against Dolphins for upcoming game

The Cincinnati Bengals are set to face the Miami Dolphins on October 8, 2026, as they aim to break a two-game losing streak against South Florida. Players have focused on tackling the Dolphins' offense, particularly quarterback Malik Willis, in practice sessions. Jordan Battle highlighted a tendency of Willis to tap the ball before throws, which the Bengals hope to exploit. He also noted the need to prepare for Willis’ running capabilities, which have been a concern for the defense in recent games. The effectiveness of these defensive strategies will be tested in their matchup on Sunday.
