Somewhere between: Darius Phillips
Cincinnati Bengals At Buffalo Bills
Sunday was a chance for Phillips to show he belongs in the base defense. William Jackson was out and Darqueze Dennard is a free agent. But he stumbled early, coughing up a long touchdown pass as the Bengals fell behind 7-0. He gave up another and picked off another pass too. The ball skills are there and growing pains were expected. He’s still an electric returner, but this sort of performance could change how a franchise acts in free agency and the draft.
