But according to Bengals head coach Zac Taylor, one Baltimore player stands above the rest as the "most underrated player in football." Taylor believes that title belongs to superstar safety Kyle Hamilton.
"I feel like he's the most underrated player in football. I just feel like you don't hear enough about him for what he does, how they utilize him. He plays every position," Taylor said when speaking to reporters this week.

The AFC North is closely contested to this point in the 2026 season, with the Ravens, Steelers and Browns all tied at 4-2.
As the only team in the division to have already taken its bye, the Bengals are 3-2. Sunday's Bengals-Ravens matchup will kick off at 1 p.m.
