If the season were to start today and someone told you the Bengal D will be top 12 in the NFL in points and yards, would your next question be "But what about 3rd down conversions?"
If the topic involved TOP, yes. I would ask about 3rd downs and turnovers forced. Both have a major impact on TOP.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
