The Bengals are getting some nice bounceback outings from Mike Hilton lately and Sunday continued the trend as Pro Football Focus graded the slot cornerback as the league's best CB in Week 8 against San Francisco.
Hilton (91.7 overall grade) notched four tackles in the game and allowed 46 yards receiving on two catches in coverage.
He has now posted back-to-back games of 80-plus grades after being 58 or worse in the first five games. Hilton is a massive swing piece for this Bengals' defense and when he's playing well, it gives the whole unit more fortitude.
The veteran will look to keep it rolling on Sunday night against Buffalo.
