My criterion for a good defense is points allowed. The 2000 Baltimore Ravens had the best defense in NFL history, only allowing a stingy 10.3 points per game. The 2021 Bengals are currently allowing 18.5 points per game — and no, I did not count the pick six as points allowed by the defense. This is a significant improvement over 2020 and 2019.
