Cam Taylor-Britt Faces Criticism and Challenging Game Against Ravens
Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt has been in the spotlight recently, both for his on-field performance and his off-field comments. Earlier in the season, Taylor-Britt made headlines when he described the Washington Commanders‘ offense as a “college offense” under rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. This remark came back to haunt him as the Bengals lost to the Commanders 38-33 in Week 3[3].
Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward recently criticized Taylor-Britt’s comments, emphasizing the respect he has for the Commanders’ offense. Heyward noted that calling the Commanders’ offense “college-like” was not doing his homework and underestimated the team’s capabilities. The Commanders have significantly improved this season, currently sitting at 7-2 and leading the NFC East.
In terms of his current performance, Taylor-Britt has been active on the field, playing a substantial number of snaps. As of Week 10, he has a total of 568 snaps, ranking him 11th among all cornerbacks in the league. His overall grade for the 2024 season stands at 59.7, placing him 125th out of 205 cornerbacks. Taylor-Britt has also recorded one interception this season.
Most recently, Taylor-Britt and the Bengals faced the Baltimore Ravens on November 8. The game saw Taylor-Britt starting the night with a notable defensive play, although the specifics of his performance are still being analyzed. The Ravens’ third-down attempt was thwarted by BJ Hill, leading to a punt, highlighting the defensive challenges both teams faced[1]).
