Taylor-Britt was targeted eight times against the Ravens in Week 10, giving up seven catches for 116 yards and three touchdowns, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
One of those three scores was Tylan Wallace's long touchdown that started as a five-yard out where Taylor-Britt missed the tackle. Taylor-Britt's failures against the Ravens are emblematic of both his struggles this season and the Bengals' overall shortcomings defensively. He was supposed to be their best corner but has regressed instead. At least some small portion of his struggles can be attributed to the Bengals' poor pass rush that is forcing him to maintain coverage longer, but by almost any metric, he's also played worse on his own.

Bengals' Cam Taylor-Britt: Posts season-high tackle total
Rotowire
Taylor-Britt recorded nine tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 37-17 loss versus the Eagles.
Taylor-Britt's tackle total is fine for the box score, but it's also a reflection of Cincinnati's overall struggles in the secondary in a runaway loss. He'll at least be on the very edge of IDP relevance as long as he continues to be on the field for virtually every defensive snap for the Bengals.

Now heading into the third year of his rookie deal, Taylor-Britt figures to remain a key factor in the Bengals' secondary.

It's a step in the right direction for Taylor-Britt after he was knocked out of Sunday's game at Tennessee.
