Cincinnati Bengals cornerback DJ Turner showed up and showed out for his defense in Week 1. He was just one of the pieces for a defense that spent all of the offseason hearing about how bad they were. Among the AFC North, that defense allowed the fewest points among the four teams.
For Turner, it was a resurgence. We all had high hopes for him when the Bengals selected him in 2023. Due to inconsistent play and injuries, the beginning of his NFL career has had its ups and downs. But it was all ups on Sunday afternoon.
