Daniels appeared in two games with the Bengals at the tail-end of the season; starting one game against the Browns in Week 18. On the season he’s recorded five tackles and a TFL, after making 11 starts the previous year.
A former Pro Bowler, Mike Daniels was a menacing 3-4 defensive end with the Green Bay Packers from 2012-2018. However, injuries and increasing age have slowed down his production in recent years.
That said, Daniels has a chance to finally become a Super Bowl champion come Sunday night.
After a decade long career, the fourth-round pick out of Iowa has a chance to help the Bengals capture their first ever Lombardi Trophy.
The Bengals take on the Rams in SoFi at 6:30 PM ET. Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth and the rest of the NBC crew will be on the call.
