Through 2 quarters, it looks even better for the defense. The D is keeping the games close. The Jags game is a perfect example where the defense gave the offense a short field multiple times in a row and they got nothing for it. The offense not being able to do anything at all is why the Bengals aren't 6-2. The defense has held up for quite a bit until getting overwhelmed. It's like in the movies when guys are holding the gates to a castle. They can't hold forever.

They couldn't even do it in Game of Thrones, with all the fiery arrows and liquid flame poured on everyone. 

I'll stop short of calling this defense a bright spot, because it's still lousy. But it is the tallest midget at this particular urinal.
