Cincinnati's defense defended against 73 snaps by the Cleveland Browns - 29 called runs, 44 called passes. The Bengals played a combination of their base 4-3 and nickel defense, playing mostly with five defensive backs using a combination of Gibril Wilson and Morgan Trent during nickel situations. Linebacker Brandon Johnson only contributed on four snaps against the Browns last weekend and Michael Johnson and Domata Peko were the most active defensive linemen.
