Jordan Battle owns up to taunting mistake vs. Falcons

The Cincinnati Bengals are beginning prep for their third pre-season game this week as they take on the Washington Commanders in DC.

Coming off a hard-fought game against the Atlanta Falcons, one Bengals rookie is looking forward to turning the page on this past weekend.

Jordan Battle, a rookie defensive back from Alabama, received a taunting penalty against the Falcons after he waved his finger after Scotty Miller caught the ball out of bounds on the third-down play. In what many would seem to not be such a serious celebration to draw a flag, the officials in Atlanta decided it was enough, ultimately giving the Falcons an automatic first down, helping set up their first scoring drive.
