## Resource

The Bengals defense exploded on the scene in their season opener, shutting down the Buccaneers with a statement performance that included a touchdown of their own. Demetrius Knight Jr. returned a fumble for a score, while Jordan Battle and Barrett Carter led the charge with tackles and a crucial sack. The unit forced three fumbles in a row early, built a lead, and held Tampa Bay to just 27 points. With multiple players stepping up—including Mafe and Bryan Cook—this new-look defense is proving it’s built for big plays and big wins. Not perfect, but they got the job done and started the season with a bang. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
