Key changes to the defense this week by Lou:

Ossai worked into the d-line rotation.

Battle played the second half at safety.

Complete strategy change from last week with minimal blitzing thus week. This was Lou's preferred defense. He is a very strategic blitzer and likes to stick with the 4 man rush. That is what he did this week.

Finally, getting healthy was a huge help. Mike Hilton may be the most impactful slot corner in the NFL. One or my favorite Bengals ever. Just love the way he plays - all pro level mentally and tackling technique.

The D FINALLY made some plays instead of hoping for mistakes by the Offense, the play by Hill you mentioned took away points, 2 stops on 4th down, (including that last one by Turner, heck of a play), got some consistent pressure on Jones, got to keep these things going and build on it

The big discussion now is whether Brown should have stopped before the goal line to allow the Bengals to take 3 knees and run out the clock.
