Taylor-Britt recorded six tackles (six solo) and an interception during Sunday's 37-27 win at Tennessee. Taylor Britt logged his third interception of the season Sunday on a pass intended for former teammate Tyler Boyd, and he returned it 28 yards to set up a go-ahead Bengals touchdown under the two-minute warning for the first half. He'll probably see a healthy dose of the red-hot Jerry Jeudy when Cincinnati hosts the Browns in Week 16.

Taylor-Britt recorded six tackles (six solo) and an interception during Sunday's 37-27 win at Tennessee. Taylor Britt logged his third interception of the season Sunday on a pass intended for former teammate Tyler Boyd, and he returned it 28 yards to set up a go-ahead Bengals touchdown under the two-minute warning for the first half. He'll probably see a healthy dose of the red-hot Jerry Jeudy when Cincinnati hosts the Browns in Week 16.
Taylor-Britt registered seven tackles (four solo) and returned an interception 51 yards for a touchdown in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers. Taylor-Britt took advantage of George Pickens falling down on a slant route early in the first quarter, as the former picked off Russell Wilson and took it all the way to the house for a 51-yard pick-six. It was one of the few highlights for a Bengals defense that allowed the Steelers to score on seven drives (four touchdowns, three field goals). Through 12 regular-season games, Taylor-Britt has logged 57 tackles (40 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and 12 pass defenses (including two interceptions).
Taylor-Britt was targeted eight times against the Ravens in Week 10, giving up seven catches for 116 yards and three touchdowns, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. One of those three scores was Tylan Wallace's long touchdown that started as a five-yard out where Taylor-Britt missed the tackle. Taylor-Britt's failures against the Ravens are emblematic of both his struggles this season and the Bengals' overall shortcomings defensively. He was supposed to be their best corner but has regressed instead. At least some small portion of his struggles can be attributed to the Bengals' poor pass rush that is forcing him to maintain coverage longer, but by almost any metric, he's also played worse on his own.
Taylor-Britt recorded nine tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 37-17 loss versus the Eagles. Taylor-Britt's tackle total is fine for the box score, but it's also a reflection of Cincinnati's overall struggles in the secondary in a runaway loss. He'll at least be on the very edge of IDP relevance as long as he continues to be on the field for virtually every defensive snap for the Bengals.
Taylor-Britt tallied two tackles (one solo), two passes defended and one interception in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs. Taylor-Britt made a spectacular one-handed interception at the end of the third quarter on a pass down the left sideline from Patrick Mahomes that was intended for Xavier Worthy. It was Taylor-Britt's first interception of the season and the fifth of his career. The 2022 second-round pick will look to make life hard for Jayden Daniels and the Commanders' receiving corps in Week 3.
Taylor-Britt will miss his second straight game due to an ankle injury sustained in Week 11. In his absence, DJ Turner and Mike Hilton are again candidates to see increased defensive snaps. The cornerback's next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 14 versus the Colts.
The second-year cornerback out of Nebraska was held out of practice all week, and he's now in line to miss his second consecutive game Sunday. Taylor-Britt has been an integral part of Cincinnati's secondary this season, logging 46 total tackles, 10 pass deflections and four interceptions in just nine games. With Taylor-Britt missing more time, DJ Turner and Mike Hilton are expected to see an uptick in snaps on the Bengals' defense.
