They were no where close to stellar. The team was an offensive team with a mediocre defense until Burfict came back. Just go re-watch the games, or at least look at the score board.

I have seen each game multiple times, and what you are missing when you go only by the stats is the fact that in games like Week 1 at Oakland, the defense gave up absolutely nothing until the Bengals were up by 26 and then either prevent or human nature kicked in and they gave up some yards and some points.  

That was the case in a number of those early games.
