Probably not. At the very top it says those numbers are from pre-2019. So it doesn't take the Zac Taylor era into consideration at all. So even taking the Lions 0-5 record this year into consideration that means the Bengals have only gained 1 win on the Lions in the ZT era. (Lions were +2 wins from 2019-2020, Bengals +3 wins in 2021, net +1 Bengals 2019-2021.)
The Bengals are probably actually 1 spot lower now on that list. They were 0.2% above the Saints, but then have gone 9-27-1 while the Saints have gone 28-9 since those numbers were compiled.
