Jordan Battle intercepts Willis twice after going viral for saying he had a tell on the Dolphins QB
(AP) — Jordan Battle came away with some important details during last week's film study of the Miami Dolphins.The Bengals safety said Thursday he had a tell on Malik Willis that he hoped would lead to success against the Dolphins quarterback.
In a thrilling match-up between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Miami Dolphins, Bengals safety Jordan Battle proved crucial to his team's victory with two interceptions of Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis. Battle's interception came after he studied Willis' tendencies, noting the quarterback's habit of tapping or releasing the ball before throwing it.
Despite this, Willis denied having any tell, attributing his interceptions to a scramble-drill mishap involving his receivers. The Bengals' defense capitalized on Willis' inconsistent performance, with Willis only managing 15 completions on 27 attempts for 137 yards. Willis did manage to score a touchdown and rush for a second, but he also lost a fumble late in the game.
Jordan Battle's interception was particularly special, as he presented one to his mother and the other to his father, expressing gratitude for the support he has received throughout his career.
