Interesting stat about the run D...going back to mid-2018, the Bengals are 0-17-1 when allowing 100 yards rushing.

Interesting stat on the TO differential, Zac Turner is 1-12-1 when winning the turnover battle.

Yeah, that stat is just crazy because it defies the norm in football.

For comparison to 2019:

              2019 -> 2020
Offense - 30th      26th
OffYds -  26th       25th
PaYds -   19th      18th
PaTDs -   28th      27th
RuYds -   25th      24th
RuTDs -   26th      17th

Defense - 25th      17th
DefYds -   29th      25th
PaYds -    21st       22nd
PaTDs -    17th      14th
RuYds -    32nd      27th
RuTDs -    27th      17th

So in nearly every category, the Bengals have improved. That's a good thing. The problem is their improvement hasn't been a big enough improvement. At this rate, they won't be Top 10 for at least another couple years.

I wonder how many points we put up in those games ?

That can be said about quite a few aspects of this organization.

Not saying you're wrong, but are other teams just doing much worse?  Ranking are one thing, I'd be interested in the hard numbers. Let's say last year it was 1200 pass yards allowed and this year it is 1300 yards allowed, but that ranks better than one additional team.

Regardless, team still sucks.

Have to stop the run man. Sucks Reader went down.

It's because the redzone offense is so bad and, well the offense in general after a turnover for whatever reasons.. I'm always bitching to the wife that I never saw a team who cant take advantage of turnovers more..

What's crazy is lol, The colts barely ran cuz they could just throw the ball all over the yard. That's why they arent the worst rush defense... I'm not sure what's worst at this point. The rush or pass D...

I don’t think you can call that improvement in the sense that one or two positions in rankings is just a quarter of football. I think you have to look at it more in tiers. Top tier would be Top 5, then playoff contender, then maybe like good but not quite there and then the just not a good team tier.

Anything 25 and lower is not good tier: Offense, Oyds, Ptds, Dyds, DRyds
Good but not quite there 24 -15: Pyds, Ryds, Rtds, Defense, DPyds, DRtds
Playoff contender: DPtds
Top 5 tier:

So, looks like we’re solidly at the top of the bottom tier, maybe moving into the not quite there tier. The only thing that’s really moved the needle on offense or defense is rushing touchdowns. Everything else is really right in line with last season.

He seems to have been out best run defender thus far, but I don't know that he has been that much of an improvement.  We brought in a guy to help stop the run from a team that couldn't stop the run.  Kinda makes you think...

26th in points scored.. not much difference than last year .. thought we be better this year with additions of Burrow, Higgins, AJ (from injury) and Williams in lineup

The Redzone offense has to be one of the worst...
