Vonn Bell Reveals Two Key Reasons Behind Forced Fumble Against New England

The Bengals safety made one of the game's biggest plays on Saturday.

CINCINNATI — Bengals safety Vonn Bell spoke with Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer following Saturday's 22-18 win over New England. He described the key fumble he forced, with two distinct reasons playing a factor in the season-altering play.

"The first is in an inside-run drill the Bengals practice with their defensive players," Breer wrote in the article. "Where they put bags down on the field and have the back try to run between the bags, with two defenders fitting the run. The first defender form-tackles the back, and the second defender goes after the ball—it’s pretty standard for training camp, and Cincinnati makes a point to keep doing it in season. So Bell’s been working on his punch (and, with his instincts, he’s pretty good with it anyway)."

The other part of this equation was Cincinnati's big defensive package. They added Josh Tupou to the front and the havoc in the middle opened a window for Bell to make his play.

“And it came out,” Bell told Breer. “It was just making plays for the team, laying it all out, and going out there and having fun with the guys.”

Thankfully for the Bengals, it all worked out as they still have a chance at the AFC's No. 1 seed thanks to their second-longest winning streak in franchise history.
