Scoring 25 a game and allowing 24 a game would basically make you both a league average offense and defense in 2020.

The Bills allowed 23.43 PPG, which was literally middle of the pack.
So yes, if the Bengals allow 24 PPG, which according to last year was right around league average, they would need to consistently put up 25+ consistently to approach a winning record.
For a team that was 29th in Points For and 22nd in Points Allowed, getting to around league average in both would be a good improvement.
