JJ Watt was DPOY that year with 17.5 sacks, 29 TFL, 50 QB Hits. Mercilus with another 12 sacks.
2 weeks after the Bengals they held Drew Brees to 56.8% completion, 228 yards, 0 TD/1 INT, and a 61.6 QB Rating.
They had a winning record and a playoff berth off that defense, despite having Brian Hoyer/Ryan Mallett/TJ Yates/Brandon Weeden as their starters at QB that season.
Not really sure that's the same as losing to a truly awful Jets team.
