3 INT in 2019 (2 by Phillips)
0 INT in 2018

A lot of not playing the ball, and a LOT of dropping the ball when it hits their hands.

William Jackson: 2 INT in 4 years
Dre Kirkpatrick: 10 INT in 8 years
Darqueze Dennard: 3 INT in 6 years

Leon Hall: 26 INT in 9 years as a Bengal
Jonathan Joseph: 14 INT in 5 years as a Bengal

How crazy is it to think that Jackson, Kirkpatrick, and Dennard have combined for 18 seasons, and only have 1 more INT than Jonathan Joseph did in his 5 year career as a Bengal? Joseph came into the league with stone hands, too, is the crazy thing. Granted I have always maintained that Dennard should have been a safety. He has near zero ball skills but is a decent tackler. Marvin was all "best rookie CB I have ever seen", but dude has never had more than 6 passes defensed in a single season.

This is certainly frustrating.  Lots of passes hit the Bengals' secondary right in the hands in 2018 and 2019 and bounced off.  You know what's sick?  Deltha O'Neal had SIXTEEN interceptions in FOUR years as a Bengal and Tory James had TWENTY-ONE interceptions in FIVE years as a Bengal.
