Cincinnati Bengals’ Jordan Battle Reveals Malik Willis’ ‘Tell’ Ahead of Week 5 Matchup

Cincinnati Bengals starting safety Jordan Battle revealed to the media on Thursday that he has identified a pre-throw habit from Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis ahead of their Week 5 contest. Battle stated that Willis performs a slight ball tap before throwing, which he believes Cincinnati's secondary can utilize as a cue to break on passes.

The matchup features a winless Dolphins squad facing off against the Bengals on Sunday. Writer Andrew Buller-Russ notes that while the revelation gives Miami several days to prepare, breaking a long-standing mechanical tendency before game day presents a difficult challenge.
