Conversely the Bengals faced the #32, #31, #29, #28, #28, #24, #22 & #20 defensives.
For good measure, the Rams defense finished #5 overall. The Bengals offense finished #19. I doubt we “carve them up” as somebody predicted.
I was referring to the QBs they faced. DVOA won't account for that.
I stand by what I said. They haven't faced many great QBs and when they have, they did not fare well.
Not saying we shred them. Just throwing the info out there.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
