After the game, Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton said the Bengals wanted to play bully ball with one of the league’s most physically imposing wideouts.

“The bullies get bullied,” Hilton, said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “We know that’s Metcalf’s type of game. He wants to get in corners’ heads. But we knew once we put 29 (Taylor-Britt) on him, all that was dead. He’s not used to guys pushing back and getting physical with him, Once the game plan was for Cam to follow 14 (Metcalf), we knew what time it was.”

CTB’s big day, which included a diving interception, limited Metcalf to four catches for 69 yards.

Also, this 15 yards for the Bengals defense because CTB was under Metcalf’s skin in a big way:

Was this a breakout game for CTB? Maybe. But either way, it’s clear he’s going to be a top fixture of the defense for a long time.
