| 0:00.0 | The Cincinnati Bengals seemed to have one thing on their mind in the 2023 NFL draft, stopping |
| 0:05.8 | offenses like the Kansas City Chiefs. First, it was Miles Murphy in the first round, |
| 0:10.6 | the pass rusher from Clemson. Then on day two, DJ Turner, the cornerback from Michigan |
