## Resource

Cincinnati just pulled off a major defensive upgrade by trading for Dexter Lawrence, and it’s already paying dividends. Despite zero sacks or tackles on his line, Lawrence is quietly dominating with his ability to draw double-teams, freeing up teammates for big plays—including four sacks and two turnovers. His smart play in Week One—sliding to protect a fumble that led to a touchdown—showed leadership and heart. Young linebackers Demetrius Knight Jr. and Barrett Carter are also stepping up thanks to his presence, and the whole defense feels more physical and aggressive. With Houston on deck, this new energy could be the key to turning their season around. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
