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.
Scoring 6 points at home is scoring 6 points at home. I don’t care if you’re playing the 2000 Ravens.
Anyway, ofc it’s not the “same.” The whole premise of two Bengals teams playing each other is stupid in the first place. I merely pointed out that 2015 team had a big letdown of their own.
Yes, the Jets suck, but winning 3 straight road games (what are the stats on that stat guy?) is extremely difficult for any team, and the Jets did beat a very good Titans team. NY’s DL is no joke. And their OC called a fantastic game.
