Also I don't think Marvin was the main difference in the Defensive turn around but instead it was the addition of Nick Vigil in the Lineup.
Your math is wrong somewhere, because very little of this is correct. The Bengals, over the last five games, gave up 356.4 yards (would have been good for #19), 21.6 points (good for #11), 34.3% on third down (#5). Your first down stat is correct. The Bengals also gave up four fourth-down conversions on four fourth-down attempts.
They weren’t a top 10 defense no matter how you slice it.
