Cam Taylor-Britt Stirs the Pot Ahead of Bengals vs. Commanders Showdown

Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt has been making waves this season, and he's doing it in more ways than one. Known for his brash personality, Taylor-Britt has been talking a big game leading up to the Bengals' Week 3 matchup against the Washington Commanders. It all started with his comments about Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, who has shown potential but is still finding his footing in the NFL. When asked about Daniels, Taylor-Britt didn’t hold back, calling Washington’s offense “simple” and essentially downplaying the rookie’s skill set. He noted that the Commanders don’t ask Daniels to do much, referencing his high completion percentage but downplaying it by saying Daniels only throws short, easy passes. With Kliff Kingsbury as the offensive coordinator, Taylor-Britt likened the Commanders’ approach to a “college offense.”

To many, Taylor-Britt’s words could be viewed as inflammatory, potentially giving Washington some bulletin board material. But here's the thing: this is what the Bengals’ opponents used to do. Now, Taylor-Britt is flipping the script, and so far, he’s backing it up. Last week, he made similarly bold statements ahead of the Bengals' game against the Kansas City Chiefs and followed up by delivering one of the best interceptions of the season. He’s proving that he’s not just talking; he’s performing at a high level on the field.

This swagger is something Cincinnati hasn’t seen in a while, and frankly, it might be exactly what the team needs. Despite starting the season 0-2 for the third straight year, the Bengals aren’t panicking. Quarterback Joe Burrow has expressed confidence that the team will turn things around, and Taylor-Britt’s attitude could be part of that. The Bengals have been here before—they’ve started slow in recent years and still managed to find success, including an AFC Championship appearance.

While some might call Taylor-Britt’s comments arrogant or unnecessary, there’s a different energy in Cincinnati this season. If they can secure their first win against Washington, it could serve as the spark they need for a strong run. With a defense playing aggressively and a young cornerback talking the talk, the Bengals might just be on the verge of flipping the narrative in 2024.
