Better record
More scoring on offense
Improved run defense
Beat the Steelers

We spend an insane amount in free agency. Added Burrow, Higgins, Wilson in the draft. Got Jonah back who missed 2019. AJ Green back from injury.

Added Reader (who played at the start of the year), Bynes, XSF, Spain, Vonn Bell, etc.

And we were A LITTLE better.

By improved run defense, we were 3rd worst last I checked. That's improved from worst.

For all the resources/additions management added, a 1.5 game improvement in wins isn't good. We won 6 games Marvin's final year. We're still at around HALF of that.

Teams ALWAYS have injuries. ALWAYS. The Steelers were missing Connor, Dupree, and Bush. 3 of their best players. Yet you somehow still count that win.
