Josh Newton was one of a few Bengals rookies who made big plays on Saturday, hauling in an interception during his NFL debut. The TCU product dove into his interception moment during a 17-14 loss that also included pass breakup and two tackles.
“He just took an inside release, but I knew he wasn’t going over,” Newton described. “He ran back out, and I just undercut it, and the ball was right there.”
Newton had seven career interceptions in college. He’s hoping tonight was the first of many at the pro level.
“Get another one,” Newton said about his mindset. “So I got back to the sideline. Most of the vets, said get another one, get another one. So they make sure they keep you just straight forward and locked in.”
