A defender is credited with a defeat any time he makes one of the following plays:
1.  A tackle that results in a loss of yardage, including sacks.
2.  Any play that results in a turnover, including tipped passes which are then intercepted.
3.  Any tackle or tipped pass that leads to a stop on third or fourth down. 




Among CBs in 2017 Dre Kirkpatrick ranked 10th in total defeats (17) and 9th in passing defeats (15).  Another solid season by the most underrated player on the team.  Jalen Ramsey was #1 with 23 total defeats and also #1 with 21 passing defeats.  They have not put out the complete numbers on all players so I don't know how the other Bengal CBs did.

I believe there are a lot of underrated players on that defense based on the amount of time they were on the field.
