That depends on the category. When I checked a few minutes ago (before the 1:00 game stats were in) they were 21 in offensive yardage and 7 in points. Keep in mind when looking at those points (26.3 per game) 21 of those total points were "garbage" time points when GB softened up with their cofortable lead. I guess if you spread those across 3 games you could make an argument it is less then 20 a game (of course no way to place where that is in standings since you'd have to adjust all teams having garbage points).
So yeah, a team getting 323 yards per game ripping off 460 yards is a poor showing for the defense. I remember back before the Bengal defenses under Zim I'd hear fans happy with a bend but don't break defense and I would shake my head at the lack of truly good defenses those people experienced as fans. I saw the late 70's Steel Curtain. I saw the Nebraska Blackshirt defenses (I hat Callahan to this day for destroying that). I saw the Chiefs defenses with the likes of Saleamua, Thomas and Smith. Bend but don't break and live and die on the turnover (Bengals 2005 defense) is nothing to cheer.
