Giving up 51 sacks is nothing to write home about. But, what they seem to forget is that their offensive line has give up 47 sacks this year which is the second most in the league behind the Bengals. I'm not sure that's something to be bragging about.

They bring it up because we had alot of injuries on the online. Lewan missed time, Davis missed time, Saffold missed time. Add injuries for multiple games with aj Julio and Henry all being out at the same time and yeah online sucked it big time. When healthy which we are now, the online plays up very well. I'm not sure if Bengals had injuries on online too or not I can't speak on that. 

Arguments can be made for our defense. We ranked lower due to all the injuries. Yet we beat the bills chiefs and Rams. Who I'd argue were tough offenses like the Bengals. And we blew 2 of the 3. So it's tough to go by our season stats. 

We typically play our best vs the best. This game is going to come down to.. do we start fast and play up too par. If so I like our chances. If we don't then the odds favors the Bengals upsetting us.
