Battle finished Sunday's 37-14 win over Arizona with three tackles (all assisted).

EDGE Analysis

Battle had posted at least seven tackles in four of his previous five games coming into Week 17, but he was less prolific in that category against the Cardinals. He did, however, manage a 72 percent defensive snap share -- tied for second-most among Bengals defensive backs -- so his reduced output wasn't related to playing time. Battle has been a steady part of Cincinnati's defense this season and heads into the team's season finale have already secured career-best marks with 122 tackles, four interceptions and two forced fumbles.

EDGE Analysis

Battle got his fourth interception of the season in the middle of the second quarter when the game was still tied 0-0, and he led Cincinnati in tackles in Week 15. His tackle total Sunday is even more impressive when it's taken into account that he only played 40 defensive snaps. He has played himself into the IDP conversation in 2025, and he'll be looking to keep up the momentum in a Week 16 tilt at Miami.

EDGE Analysis
