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.
The ONLY stat that matters is points allowed. And they were pretty damn good after Marvin took over. #11, yeah, like I said before, that's pretty much top 10.
Also keep in mind who they played down the stretch - Chargers, Browns and Steelers were all pretty good offenses.
The Bengals held those teams to 26, 26 and 16 without the benefit of any legitimate offense with Driskel at the helm. If you don't think the defense played damn good under those conditions, then I don't know what to tell you.
